The Wezel Apis 2 is a German mid-wing, T-tailed, single-seat motor glider that was designed and produced by Wezel Flugzeugtechnik.〔Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04'', page 60. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X〕 Often confused with the very similar Albastar Apis, the two designs are not related.〔 The rights to the Apis 2 design were sold to Yuneec International of China in 2011 with the intention of selling only an electric version. Wezel announced in June 2012 that the move of production had been delayed indefinitely.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 138. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 ==Design and development== The Apis 2 is a retractable engine motor glider that is powered by a Hirth F-33 single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. The engine is retracted into a bay behind the cockpit for soaring flight. The Apis 2 is built predominately of composites. The span wing features winglets and produces a 39:1 glide ratio. The landing gear is a retractable monowheel gear.〔 In 2003 the aircraft was offered for €50,950 complete.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wezel Apis 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
