Apex from Eclipson Airplanes

Details

Take flight with the APEX—a high-performance, 3D-printed glider crafted for pilots who value precision, versatility, and cutting-edge engineering. The APEX delivers durability and innovation through its hybrid fuselage, combining PLA+, carbon tubes, and LW-PLA to create a frame that is both exceptionally strong and impressively lightweight. Choose LW-PLA wings for slower, more elegant soaring, or PLA+ wings for greater impact resistance and sharper, high-energy maneuvers—allowing you to tailor performance to your flying style.

A newly engineered main wheel suspension system provides smooth, consistent landings. Its streamlined mechanical design absorbs impact forces efficiently without added weight or unnecessary complexity. The HTP, wings, and winglets are fully removable for effortless transport and maintenance. This modular approach enables fast field assembly, quick disassembly, and simple part replacement whenever needed.

Precision lies at the heart of the APEX. Spiral vase printing techniques are utilized to produce LW-PLA components with excellent surface finish and reduced print time. A robust male-to-female joining system ensures perfect alignment during assembly while keeping the build process intuitive and hassle-free.

Whether you’re after long, unbroken glides or fast, high-performance flights, the APEX delivers a seamless fusion of innovation, strength, and aerodynamic refinement.
