Blanik L-23

The Super Blaník is an improved version of the original LET L-13 Blanik. To save weight, the new wings were made without flaps, which were rarely used. LET also moved the tailplane to the top of the vertical stabilizer for better protection in case of outlanding. It has a new instrument suite and a new two-piece canopy (with different framing from that on the original L-13) to improve vision.

Performance

  • Maximum glide ratio: 28:1
