TMG TMG

TMG - Definition and Overview

Touring Motor Gliders (TMG) are powered sailplanes with an engine/propeller, which cannot be retracted into the fuselage. Usually these types of glider are designed to be cheap powered planes. A large wingspan makes powerless flight possible, with performances below those of proper gliders. As touring planes the TMGs are very efficient, because their aerodynamic design is superior to that of standard single engine planes.
