Unveiling To Be Held On July 26th

The new Stemme Twin Voyager S12 will make its U.S. debut at AirVenture next week. The company will unveil the aircraft at an event held at its booth on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.

In 2015, Stemme presented the prototype of its S12 at the AERO Friedrichshafen, and in March 2016, EASA granted type certification for the Twin Voyager S12. At AirVenture next week, Stemme USA will present the aircraft to pilots and flying enthusiast from all around the world.

With its 25 meter (approx. 82 feet) wingspan, this high-performance glider achieves a glide ratio of up to 53 to one. The unique folding propeller that disappears completely into the dome during glide mode gives the aircraft excellent aerodynamics, while the powerful ROTAX 914 F2/S1 Turbo engine gives pilots uncompromising travel performance. It also features a new luggage compartment in the fuselage and an autopilot

Stemme already has more than 20 orders on its books. Currently the S12 is near FAA certification .

“With the S12 we have further refined the original
Stemme idea and offer pilots two complete aircraft in one," said Paul Masschelein, CEO, Stemme AG.

The company says the S12 delivers the comfortable travel of a powered aircraft along with the pure adventure of gliding. "Many intensive discussions with powered and glider pilots alike show us that with the Twin Voyager we have exactly met the needs of many pilots,” Masschelein said.
