Design and development

The D-10 was designed as a self-launching sailplane. The engine is a Rotax 447 of 40 hp (30 kW), mounted in tractor configuration on a retractable arm behind the cockpit. The engine can be retracted in 15 seconds. [1]

The D-10 is predominantly constructed from fibreglass and wood. The cabin is enclosed under a bubble canopy. The conventional landing gear uses two side-by-side, non-retractable mainwheels under the cockpit floor set closely together. The 14.7 m (48.23 ft) span wing is supported by a single lift strut and jury struts on each side and employs a Wortmann FX 63-137 airfoil. [1] [2]
