Aircraft fairing
An aircraft fairing is a structure whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag.
See LO 120 S and Aircraft fairing
Fuselage
The fuselage (from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped") is an aircraft's main body section.
Germany
Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), is a country in Central Europe.
Hang gliding
Hang gliding is an air sport or recreational activity in which a pilot flies a light, non-motorised, heavier-than-air aircraft called a hang glider.
Hirth 2704
The Hirth 2704 and 2706 are a family of in-line twin cylinder, two stroke, carburetted aircraft engines, with optional fuel injection, designed for use on ultralight aircraft and especially two seat ultralight trainers, single seat gyrocopters and small homebuilts.
Homebuilt aircraft
Homebuilt aircraft, also known as amateur-built aircraft or kit planes, are constructed by persons for whom this is not a professional activity.
See LO 120 S and Homebuilt aircraft
List of gliders
This is a list of gliders/sailplanes of the world, (this reference lists all gliders with references, where available) Note: Any aircraft can glide for a short time, but gliders are designed to glide for longer.
See LO 120 S and List of gliders
LTD LO-120S
The LTD LO-120 is a German ultralight aircraft, produced by Logistik-Technik, of Baindt and based on the earlier LO 120 S produced by LO-Fluggerrätebau. LO 120 S and LTD LO-120S are single-engined pusher aircraft.
Monoplane
A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.
Motor glider
A motor glider is a fixed-wing aircraft that can be flown with or without engine power. LO 120 S and motor glider are motor gliders.
Plywood
Plywood is a composite material manufactured from thin layers, or "plies", of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers, having both glued with each other at right angle.
Pusher configuration
In aeronautical and naval engineering, pusher configuration is the term used to describe a drivetrain of air- or watercraft with propulsion device(s) after the engine(s).
See LO 120 S and Pusher configuration
Tandem
Tandem, or in tandem, is an arrangement in which a team of machines, animals or people are lined up one behind another, all facing in the same direction.
Tricycle landing gear
Tricycle gear is a type of aircraft undercarriage, or landing gear, arranged in a tricycle fashion.
See LO 120 S and Tricycle landing gear
Twin-boom aircraft
A twin-boom aircraft has two longitudinal auxiliary booms.
See LO 120 S and Twin-boom aircraft
Ultralight aviation
Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft.
See LO 120 S and Ultralight aviation
Ultralight trike
An ultralight trike or paratrike is a type of powered hang glider where flight control is by weight-shift.
See LO 120 S and Ultralight trike
V-tail
The V-tail or vee-tail (sometimes called a butterfly tail or Rudlicki's V-tailGudmundsson S. (2013). "General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures" (Reprint). Butterworth-Heinemann. p. 489., 9780123973290) of an aircraft is an unconventional arrangement of the tail control surfaces that replaces the traditional vertical and horizontal surfaces with two surfaces set in a V-shaped configuration.
