The LAK-11 sailplane is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of the utility category outlined by the JAR-22, which pertains to sailplanes operating at altitudes exceeding 15 meters. Constructed with a sleek, single-seat mid-wing configuration from advanced composite materials, this remarkable aircraft boasts an elegantly contoured T-tail and sophisticated flaps. Additionally, it is equipped with a state-of-the-art retractable single-wheel main landing gear and air brakes ingeniously integrated into the upper wing surface. The sailplane's wings feature the high-performance Wortmann DH67-K170/150 airfoil, which has been extensively researched to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. For maximum buoyancy and versatility, the LAK-11 features water ballast storage compartments cleverly hidden within its sturdy wings and robust fin. Following months of meticulous testing and refinement, the very first LAK-11 model, "Nida", successfully took flight under the skilled guidance of test pilot Stasys Naujalis on July 6, 1982 in the picturesque region of Pociunai, Lithuania. Developed with precision at the state-of-the-art Sportine Aviacija factory ("ESAG"), the LAK-11 has become an exceptional choice among aerodynamics enthusiasts worldwide. Its accurate three-dimensional digital representation can be created using industry-leading software like SolidWorks 2014, thanks to its highly detailed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) blueprint. This valuable model is also compatible with cutting-edge file formats such as STEP and IGES for enhanced precision, while its compatibility with the popular STL format enables it to be effortlessly translated into three-dimensional models for advanced applications like 3D printing. To promote innovation and education within the community, this design is provided absolutely free of charge for general use, facilitating unrestricted access and research possibilities among students and professionals alike.
