Genesis 2
|
The GENESIS 2 is a new and modern composite Standard Class racing sailplane of unusual configuration.
US famous businessman and pilot Jerry Mercer had organized a design team, which represented a nice blend of business, aviation, engineering and competitive soaring experience. Genesis was created by the sailplane engineer Jim Marske, with Robert Mudd assisting with control system design, cockpit layout and production engineering. John Ronce desined the wing airfoils. Roy Bailets made make-up of the composite-structures and David Treinis, an experienced pilot, contributed a lot in project managing.
The original design of GENESIS was refined in Lithuania AB "Sportine aviacija". It has been certified under The International Joint Aviation Requirements program. Our company started production of GENESIS 2 that is successfully continued.
