Slingsby Falcon

The Falcon was constructed from plans supplied by the Rhön-Rossitten Gesellschaft (the controlling body for gliding in Germany).

Originally designed by Alexander Lippisch, the T.1 was a single-seat sport glider of moderate performance for its day.

The fuselage was primarily of wooden construction with six longerons, built-up frames, plywood skinning forward of the central pylon and fabric covering aft.

They were swept at 12.5o but carried ailerons with unswept hinges and rounded trailing edges.

These aircraft were flown successfully for many years, but gradually succumbed until none were left airworthy.
