A single seat single engined high wing monoplane with hybrid control circa 1983. Wing has unswept leading and trailing edges, and constant chord. Yaw control by rudder. Control inputs through weight shift for pitch/yaw/roll.
The Chtyvnoplat appears from the very sketchy information available to be a Russian equivalent of the Quicksilver E. It differs from the Eipper-formance machine in that the pilot lays prone, but the control system is similar, being primarily weight shift but assisted by a rudder. The high rectangular wing has a large dihedral and a single boom supports the tail, the whole structure being supported in flight by a web of cables of considerable density.
The claimed glide ratio is 15 17/1.
Length overall 17.1ft, 5.20m.
Wing span 31.5 ft, 9.60 m.
Constant chord 4.8 ft, 1.46 m.
Total wing area 151 sq.ft, 14.0 sq.m.
Wing aspect ratio 6.5/1.
