Unconventional arrangement
of "Diana 2" structural design with 1.5 meter spar stump integrated
into fuselage, suggested development of a trailer that would be
adequate for storage and transport of both "Diana 2" as well as any
other modern high-performance sailplane. Trailer has a unique
monocoque composite shell. The 15mm thick floor is made from
sandwiched aluminum plate with honeycomb core. The shell is attached
to a chassis from German AL-KO Kober with V-type tow bar and an
overrunning brake. Wings and fuselage are loaded through opening in
the back of the trailer and guided by set of built-in rails. At the
front of the trailer there is a baggage compartment for stowing all
ground handling equipment and a spare wheel.
