Standalone Glider Tow (Conceptual System) I'm showcasing my Nida glider on GrabCAD, courtesy of Antanas Sulskis – a huge thank you to him for allowing me to do so. Glider LAK-11 Nida A Project in Constant Evolution This system is comprised of two identical modules that are mounted on the wing console near the center section of the glider. After exploring various design options, I settled on two separate modules as the best solution. Some Key Specifications: Power Plant: The EMRAX 188 electric motor weighs in at 6.8 kg and boasts a peak power output of 70 kW, with continuous power of 28 kW at 7000 RPM. The E-BAMO-D3 controller weighs 6.5 kg and features a battery element with a capacity of 3.6 V and 1500 mAh at an impressive 8C (12 A) discharge rate. Its dimensions are 76x40x6.5 mm, and it tips the scales at a mere 35 g. With 450 items in total, this module packs a punch with its 2.4 kWh power output and weighs just 16 kg. Estimated Module Weight: Less Than 40 kg Estimated Runtime: 6-8 Minutes The Power Mode is Optimized for Each Flight Once the glider reaches its target route, the towing modules are reset and parachuted down to Earth using a controlled descent system. This autonomous on-board system utilizes GPS orientation and laser altimeter data to ensure a safe and precise landing. Taking into account the remaining battery charge, the program guarantees a soft and gentle touchdown at the launch site. To absorb the impact, there are three key points of cushioning: a front ski and two springs at the rear. The adapters remain securely attached to the wing of the glider, with individual models designed specifically for each type of glider. These adapters can be fixed in place without damaging the wing or interfering with its flaps.
