Kasperwing 1-80

   Single-seat, single-engine, high-wing monoplane with hybrid control.  Wing has swept back leading and trailing edges, and constant chord; no tail.  Pitch control by weight-shift; yaw/roll control by tip rudders; control inputs through tiller for yaw.  Wing braced from above by kingpost and cables, from below by cables; wing profile by W. Kasper; single-surface. 

    Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation; no suspension on any wheels.  Push-right to-left nosewheel steering independent from yaw control.  No brakes.  Aluminium-tube framework with optional pod.  Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller.  Dacron used for covering wing and underside of mid-chord spar. 

    The Kasperwing 1-80 was designed by W. Kasper in collaboration with Steve Grossruck and the prototype constructed in 1976.  The Kasper effect allows the 1-80 to make vertical approach to landing while remaining stable in all three axes during a descent at 160ft/min. with a 154 lb. pilot. 

It has a twin spar wing, each wing having six ribs folded into a flattened 'S' shape to give a stable profile.  The Kasper can be summarized as twin rudders carried on tripod struts at the extremity of each wing in such a way that the rudders are also used as vortex generators and as air brakes. 


    Powered by Zenoah G25B, 25 hp. engine with a max cruise speed of 45 mph.  Length 10', span 35', chord 5.6', height 11' and total wing area of 180 sq. ft.
