The primal TEQUILA was a glider that set standards. It was the first DHV 1-2 Wing to
have JET FLAPS. JET FLAP Technology has consequently become widely acknowledged
and accepted in the past few years and so the TEQUILA2 is also equipped with a fur-
ther developed slotted flap. Alongside the best climb performance, JET FLAPs guaran-
tee very low landing speeds and high safety potential.
Many hours of testing and the use of the newest CAD Software have made it possible
to develop the TEQUILA2, a glider which will surely pave the way for future innovation.
The TEQUILA2 is both: a glider for the initial learning process and an intermediate
machine. It combines safety and performance at a high level, assuring long and relaxed
flying time. The glider stays stable and well-controllable even in turbulence, and weak
thermals are converted into extra altitude, thanks to the excellent low speed attributes.
In principal, only every other cell is suspended, this saves on line meters and reduces
drag, therefore improving performance.
In all cells, diagonal and compression bands provide for optimum load distribution.
An intricate distribution of tension inside and along the canopy increases stability and
eliminates undesired deformations.
The outside wing was designed to carry less load in order to achieve an even and pre-
dictable feel in turns. Large cross-ports in the profile ribs provide for an effective infla-
tion of all cells, without compromising profile accuracy.
Velcro bands are attached to the outer wings, in order to facilitate the emptying of
sand from the glider.
