Aeros Still Wing

Still-17 has a wide speed range. Controllability of this wing will satisfy demands of the most whimsical pilot. It is extremely responsive to control efforts. Roll efforts are low, both for entering & exiting the turn. Launch is easy, after the lift-off it is recommended to pull-in slightly, especially if you use a powerful engine or in a single-seater variant. After launching the wing is balanced at cruising speed of 70-75 km/h. The wing can be balanced at lower speed, but in that case it is more roll-sensible & at rough control an inexperienced pilot can have a few nasty moments. Pitch efforts in all speed range (from 50 to 100 km/h) are moderate, but with right gradient. Stall is smooth, which is, as a rule, unobtainable in most trikes with classical layout. In near-stall mode Still-17 continues steady flight & its nose sinks only after release of the control bar, after which the wing gains lost speed practically without any dive. The wing has excellent controllability at coordinated control (pitch-roll) & even at not coordinated one (roll only). The wing is stable at turns. Bumpiness at turbulent flights is easily counteracted. Still-17 is an ideal wing for manoeuvring flights at low altitude, the pilot has control over the situation at every flight stage. Landing approach is classical. The line of descent can be corrected easily. Even at weak wind the wing allows to hit the spot.

Still-17 can be recommended for flights that require a combination of good weight-lifting capability & good manoeuvrability, for example, in agricultural applications or for delivering of loads/passengers to an unequipped site. & with a single-seater version you’ll just enjoy an obedient wing.

As a rule, when making a wing, we consider the client’s wish as regards choice of colours.
