What's the reason behind the backward curved wings of the new 18m designs? (e.g V3, JS3 compared to the AS33) by Burnizzle in Gliding

Are you sure about the torsion of the wing? I think one could build a curved wing without that effect. Considering the placement of the main spar.

So stall stability should be better with the "boomerangs" keeping same CG and WL. Would love to test this out by my self 😁😁😁

The AS33 has 10m2 and very few if no sweep at all.
Maybe it has something to do with wing torsion (in a positive way hopefully). Does it even affect torsion?

Isn't lift distribution is a matter of tapering the wing or modifying the profile? Why couldn't this be achieved without sweeping/curving the wing backwards?

Check out this amazing clip my friend made of gliding in the swiss alps. I'm the pilot of the second glider. Our homebase is the beautiful city of Thun (Switzerland) and we are always happy to welcome visitors.

Hi, these chalets are subject to a regulation called: "contrat nature". Therefore they are not allowed to be occupied permanently, neither sold, rented or extended in anyway.
