GENERAL
1. Introduction
A. This chapter provides a brief general description of the aircraft including a set of technical data.
2. General Description
A. The STEMME S6 is a twin-seat high performance powered sailplane with an innovative
propulsion concept and a sophisticated aerodynamic design. The wing is a carbon fiber reinforced
composite design. The fuselage is manufactured as a hybrid construction (carbon, kevlar, glass)
with an extremely rigid central steel tube framework. The seats are arranged side by side and
equipped with dual controls.
The wing is attached to the fuselage in the upper third section of the fuselage behind the cockpit.
The wing consists of an one-piece central wing with flaps and two outboard wings with Schempp-
Hirth air brakes and inboard and outboard ailerons. The tail unit is designed as a T-tail.
The S6 has a fixed tricycle type landing gear with a steerable nose gear. The main gear is equipped
with single disc hydraulic brake assemblies. Strut and wheel fairings are provided to improve the
aerodynamic properties.
The engine is located in the middle portion of fuselage, behind the cabin and mounted to a high-
strength steel tube cage. The engine power is transmitted via an internal gear, a composite drive-
shaft and a front reduction gear to a three-blade, constant-speed propeller. The propeller pitch is
controlled electrically.
