Bruce Goldsmith brings us up to date on glider behaviour during full frontals.
A full frontal collapse is basically the same as an asymmetric collapse, but instead of the collapse being on one side of the glider and progressing towards the middle, a full frontal collapse progresses outwards from the centre of the wing towards both tips. This type of collapse can be so big that it even takes out the entire leading edge of the glider from tip to tip.

During all those years sitting at the back of the classroom, my wandering mind was fuelled by mostly two things: my teacher’s strange pronunciation of faraway places like Titicaca and Machupichu, and by Tintin comic books - especially the one where he ventures off in search of the Temple of the Sun. Finally, the day had come for me to seek out those crystal clear waters and long lost Incan treasures for myself.
