The Whigham GW-7 is an American mid-wing, single-seat, 15 metre class glider that was designed and constructed by Gene Whigham, a retired Convair flight test engineer.[1][2] Design and developmentWhigham's last glider design was the GW-7. The aircraft was completed and first flew in 1987.[1][2] The GW-7 is of all metal construction, has a {{convert|15|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} wing span and employs a NASA NLF(1)-0215F airfoil. The flaps and ailerons are interconnected. The flaps travel +/-10° in normal flight in concert with the ailerons and then can be deployed to 60° for glidepath control on landing.[1][3] Only one GW-7 was constructed and it was registered with the Federal Aviation Administration as an Experimental - Amateur-built.[2] Operational historyIn July 2011 the sole GW-7 built was still on the FAA registry and owned by Donald Macey of Fallon, Nevada.[2] Specifications (GW-7){{Aircraft specs|ref=Sailplane Directory[1] |prime units?=imp
