2. Brief Description and Technical Data
The STEMME S10 is a twin-seat high performance powered sailplane with an innovative propulsion concept
and a high grade aerodynamic design. The wing is made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic, the fuselage is
fabricated as a hybrid construction (carbon, aramide, glass) with an extremely rigid steel tube framework in
the centre of force introduction. The seats are arranged side by side and equipped with dual controls.
The wing is attached to the fuselage behind the cockpit in the fuselage upper third. The wing consists of a
one-part central wing equipped with flaps and Schempp-Hirth air brakes as well as two outboard wings with
continuous ailerons.
The tail unit is designed as a T-tail.
The two-leg landing gear is electrically extended and retracted and is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes.
The tail wheel is steered with the pedals.
The engine is located in the fuselage in a central steel tube framework near the aeroplane centre of gravity.
The engine power is transmitted via a composite material shaft and a transmission gear to an articulated
propeller in the fuselage nose. In soaring flight, the propeller is folded and covered by the slidable fuselage
nose cone (propeller dome).
One fuel tank is located in each outboard area of the central wing.
