FAA Certifies The Stemme S12

Opens Up Lucrative U.S. Market For The Aircraft

The FAA has approved the Stemme Twin Voyager S12 powered glider. The official type certificate was made out on August 16, 2017.

The Stemme S12 had already been certified the previous summer to the requirements of the EASA. Now it has successfully passed the FAA validation process of the EASA type approval, and received the official type certificate G06CE.

This FAA certification opens up the American market for Stemme. Glider pilots with an FAA licence can fly their Stemme S12 worldwide with American certification.

“The US has always been the market with the greatest sales potential for us," said Paul Masschelein, Stemme AG board member. "Our subsidiary Stemme USA Inc. will now be able to further expand its sales efforts.”

According to the company, the Stemme-Retrac foldable and variable pitch propeller is installed in the Stemme Twin Voyager S12 and disappears completely into the propeller dome. To start the propeller, the dome slides out and the propeller blades unfold. It takes just 5 seconds to convert from glide mode to engine mode.

The aircraft is powered by a Rotax 914 F2/S1 Turbo developing 115 horsepower. It has a fuel capacity of 31.7 US gallons and burns about 3.4 gallons per hour at 55 percent power.
