S8 Competition Rocket Glider – 130cm
Overview
Shaman S is a purpose-built rocket glider developed for the S8 competition class. With a 130cm wingspan, it uses a shortened and re-engineered Shaman wing, precisely bonded in a dedicated mold to ensure structural integrity and aerodynamic consistency.
The concept combines the proven Shaman airfoil performance with the specific demands of rocket-powered launch and glide transition.
Construction
- One-piece wing (130cm)
- Based on the Shaman airfoil concept
- Shortened and bonded in a precision mold
- Lightweight composite structure
- Optimized for rocket boost loads and glide efficiency
Performance Concept
The air-frame is designed to:
- Withstand high acceleration during boost
- Maintain stability during transition
- Deliver efficient glide performance in S8 tasks
- Provide precise pitch response and reliable control
Configuration
- Two-servo control system (elevator and fin)
- Clean fuselage layout
- Optimized CG positioning for boost and glide phases
- Competition-oriented structural stiffness.
- A specially engineered full carbon motor holder, designed specifically for S8 competition requirements.
