The Stemme S10-VT is the World's Best Motorglider

No other powered sailplane design has combined the high performance of a sailplane with the practicality and convenience of a power plane. As a result, soaring was finally freed from local airfields and the requirement for ground handling support, creating a new class of gliders. Starting from convenient local airfields in the morning, owners fly under power to optimal soaring conditions anywhere within several hundred miles, soar all day, and still have time to return home the same day. The STEMME propulsion design makes high performance cross country soaring a convenient form of recreational, competition, record-setting flights, and just plane fun.

As seen on Tactical to Practical on the History Channel. Stemme has also been featured in many articles, magazines and at many shows. 

The S10-VT is the only aircraft that does not compromise: 

• It is up to a 50:1 (this means for every foot it goes down, it could glide 50 feet forward. Or to understand its safety, for every mile you are up you can glide up to 50 miles in any direction in calm conditions!!) sailplane.

• Under Power it can cruise at 140 Knots (160+mph) above 10,000 feet.

What makes the S10-VT the World's Best? 

• German Engineering at its Finest. 

• The very best in Finish. 

• The best in Innovations 

• Versatility  

Some of the Stemme Innovations: (see Innovations)

• side-by-side cockpit and safety concept

• drive shaft - propeller - mid-engine

• landing gear

• fuselage

• polars and wing pressure distribution

• wing folding mechanism

• S10-VT Folding Variable Pitch Prop (called Stemme Retrac)

What does the VT stand for? 

• V is the variable pitch. The S10-VT has a two position prop to give the best in climb and the best in Cruise. 

• T is for the Turbo. The S10-VT uses a Rotax 115hp Turbo engine with a service ceiling of about 30,000 feet. This gives you outstanding performance at high altitudes where most aircraft may not even be able to  take off or cruise well!
