The EB29D combines top performance with comfortable space for two pilots and innovative technology – capable of self-launching, versatile and uncompromisingly safe.

Two-Seater EB29D

Unlimited gliding as a team.

The EB29D offers exceptional flight characteristics, a spacious and ergonomic cabin, and an electric retractable landing gear for maximum comfort – both in flight and on the ground.

Thanks to variable wingspans and low weight, it can be adapted to a wide range of weather conditions and flight requirements at any time.

The EB29D complies with the highest safety standards according to the current CS-22 construction regulations and remains uncompromisingly powerful – for frequent flyers, competitions and leisure pilots alike.

description EB29D

fuselage

  • body shell made of fibre reinforced plastic (CFK and aramide)
  • cockpit suitable for pilots up to 190 cm in the front seat and little less in the rear seat
  • forward swinging canopy including one sliding window with integrated ventilation scoop
  • instrument panel moves upward with the canopy
  • TOST-safety release couplings (for aero tow or winch tow)
  • total pressure probe in tip of the fuselage nosecone
  • adapter in the fin to fit TEK probe
  • static pressure probes (for air speed indicator and altimeter) on both sides of the tail boom

landing gear and brake

  • rubber suspended, electrically operated retractable landing gear
  • hydraulic disk brake
  • tail wheel

power plant

  • power plant retractable into the fuselage
  • solo engine 2625 022
  • tooth belt driven reduction gear (1:3)  
  • water cooling
  • double ignition
  • electrical starter
  • batteries with 16,8 V max charching voltage for improved extension and retraction as well as starting of the engine
  • engine control instrument fitted to the instrument panel
  • Propeller Binder BM-G1-160-R-120-1

Fuel tank

  • In fuselage ~20 ltr
  • Flexible fuel tanks in the inner wing with ~17 ltr capacity per wing possible

antenna

  • radio antenna in the rudder
  • optional transponder antenna

cockpit

  • removeable bucket seats with parachute mould in the front seat
  • safety belts
  • seat cushions
  • 2 side Pockets (rear seat)
  • ram air entrance in the nosecone of the fuselage for ventilation and defogging of the canopy
  • seperately controllable ventilation for both seats on right side of the cockpit

controls

  • rudder control pedals on linear rails (adjustable before flight)
  • control rods made of CFK
  • electrically adjustable trim with operating switches on both control sticks
  • automatic elevator connection

wings

  • 8-part wing with boundry layer control on the lower wing surface
  • wingtip with winglets for wingspan 25,3 m or 28.3 m 
  • built using high modulous (HM) carbon fibre
  • aileron and flap gaps covered with Mylartape
  • double panel air brakes on the upper wing surface

water ballast

  • water ballast bags in the outer wings with approx. 50 litres capacity each
  • water ballast tank in the fin to allow for compensation of CG-movement using water ballast in the wings

finish and design

  • white two component plyester coat or PU-coat

To minimize the structural weight the main parts of wing and fuselage are built using the vacuum suction method. This allows the utmost possible spread in wing loading.
