===Cross-over=== On the [[Stemme S10]], the propeller folds into the nose cone, and is connected to the rear-mounted engine with a drive shaft. It also has two retractable main wheels, allowing it to be taxied without assistance, and to soar with low drag. These features make it a cross-over between the touring and retractable propeller motor gliders. It does not have a tow-hook, so it must self-launch. The S10-VT variant has a two-position [[Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics)|variable-pitch propeller]] and a [[turbocharger]] on the engine, which allows the aircraft to cruise at altitudes up to 30,000 feet (9,000 m).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stemmewest.com/pages/s10vt.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120917101335/http://www.stemmewest.com/pages/s10vt.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=17 September 2012|title=Stemme AG, S10-VT Information|access-date=24 November 2006}}</ref> On the [[AMS Carat]], the propeller folds forward, pointing straight ahead like a spear.
