CONCORDIA – SUPERSEGLER

By

Three View Concept Drawing by Butler in 2004

The Soaring Café is delighted to have the privilege of presenting the Concordia Project from inception through design, building and flight testing.  Dick Butler, Gerhard Waibel, and Dr. Loek Boermans have created a truly international project to create the new SUPERSEGLER!

Contributions from Butler, Waibel, and Boermans will be posted over the next several months as a series of installments, as will posts from many other people who have participated in the project.

This page will organize these various posts and help the reader navigate the SoaringCafe site to find all the Concordia information. We will have detailed information about the Concordia Project as well as interviews with key individuals who have made significant contributions to the project. We will also feature comments from some of the many people who have stopped by Dick’s shop to see the progress and encourage him to keep going.

Please add your comments and questions at the bottom of this page.  We will do our best to respond to you quickly.
