The first Constant Speed Glorieuse propeller to equip a JODEL: a magnificent D11 uls with Rotax 912S.
the Jodel D11 on the altisurface “Pene de Soulit”, near Luchon in France (altitude 6240 ft)
His owner-pilot is delighted. Take-off is very short, even at 7,000 ft. Rate of climb 1800 ft/min. He gains 15 km/h in cruise (previously, he had a 3-blade Duc Swirl, diameter 173 cm, weight 6.1 kg). He achieves an indicated speed of 170 km/h at 4300 rpm and intake pressure of 24.
