First JS3 RES electric self launch in Veronica Namibia 🇳🇦 .This morning Bernd DOLBA was already celebrating the begin of carneval which starts in Köln 11.11. at 11:11 o‘clock. He finished his task exactly after 1111 km at 141 km/h. Have a look how powerful the engine runs at 1355 m MSL. The take off is much more powerful compared to the other 2 stroke engines here in Veronica. | Jonker Sailplanes

CS-22.73 Back to the high speed descend... we received quite some interest in this topic, and published the attached video of the 18m and 21m versions of the JS-MD 1C test program. Despite the sudden acceleration, the wings does not bend as much as we expected, due to their inertia, and the fact that the acceleration is only for a split second. For those who remembered the momentum change formula of dP=F.dt this will make a lot of sense.... | Jonker Sailplanes

Jonker Sailplanes is proud to present the roll out of JS3 Rapture number 100 on the anniversary date of both the JS1 and JS3. OK we have to admit we delayed the roll-out with a few weeks to make the anniversary even more special. Today 14 years ago the JS1 had its maiden flight and 4 years ago the 15m version of the JS3 experience the African sky, before its 14.000 km record breaking flight to Australia (with the help of QANTAS of course). It's amazing how the weather always makes our maiden fli

JS2 Revenant - STEP by STEP - Even though the CAD models predicted smooth operation the engineering team could not hide their excitement and satisfaction when the pylon system effortlessly extracted and retracted for the first time. It is amazing how the engineering team integrated such a big powerful engine system in such an elegant small fuselage. #jonkersailplanes #js2revenant | Jonker Sailplanes

Certification flight tests of the JS-3 started with test instrument calibration and the test of emergency equipment. The deployment and successful jettison of the anti-spin chute has be to tested in controlled conditions. The concept of the anti-spin chute is to stop to the high yaw rate during an unrecoverable spin that may be encountered during the spin program. After deployment a descent rate of 10m/s was recorded - too high to attempt a safe landing. | Jonker Sailplanes
