Nope! It was a R&D project at Mississippi State University. The glider was an Owl ultra-light glider being tested for development as a UAV. The airspeed was mechanically peged at 100 mph, vne 90. The test pilot was not aware of the speed he was going because of the peg. Computer data analysis indicated he was going the 171 mph when the glider broke-up. Normally the airspeed would continue past the max indicated. ----- Original Message ----- From: <pe...@heroic.co.uk> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 4:28 AM Subject: Re: KR> Glider BRS Mis-Hap
