G-15 by V.K.Gribovskij
|
G-15 two-seater was intended for tourist purposes. Side-by-side seats, twin controls, enclosed cockpit and respectable fuel capacity were well suited for this purpose. Construction typical for V.K.Gribovskij aircraft, wooden structure with plywood skin (with fabric layer glued on).
Unusual feature of the G-15 was in-flight adjustable leading edge of the tailplane.
G-15 was built at The Glider Factory in 1934. Performance was very good.
In 1935 G-15 participated in contest flight of light airplanes. After 100km were behind, the engine failure caused an emergency landing (that one was performed successfully).
V.K.Gribovskij planned to built a canard aircraft utilizing the wing of G-15, intended to compete for The Safe Aircraft Price. It was never built
