Classe Monotype

[dvi]

En voyant les résultats des championnats du monde je suis surpris de voir "classe monotype"

j'en étais encor au standard,15 mêtres ,libre

A quoi correspond la définition des planeurs "monotypes"?

7.7.5 World Class

 

The World Class glider is the PW-5 design which was the winner of the 1994 World Class design competition. All gliders must be built to the IGC specifications for the World Class and must conform to all applicable IGC rules. No modifications are permitted except as approved and circulated in writing by FAI to all NACs on behalf of the IGC.

 

a. ALTERATION TO AIRFLOW

 

Any alteration affecting airflow around the glider is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of turbulation devices, fairings, and special surface treatment. The only exceptions are:

 

(i) a yaw string,

 

(ii) a total energy probe,

 

(iii) adhesive tape to seal gaps between wings, fuselage and tail. Sealing between moveable control surfaces and the airframe is not permitted.

 

b. ELECTRICAL DEVICES

 

Electrical and electronic devices are allowed, including instruments and navigational aids.

 

c. BALLAST

 

Ballast which can be jettisoned in flight is prohibited. In a World Class competition, a mass shall be specified by the Competition Director between the maximum gross mass and the lowest takeoff mass attainable by the heaviest entrant. To attain the specified mass each glider shall incorporate a fixed ballast system approved by the IGC, which may include tail ballast.

 

d. CENTRE OF GRAVITY CONTROL

 

Any device capable of altering the centre of gravity location of the glider during flight is prohibited.
