The Schweizer SGS 2-33 is an American two-seat, high-wing, strut-braced, training glider that was built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York. [1] [2] [3] The 2-33 was designed to replace the Schweizer 2-22, from which it was derived. The aircraft first flew in 1965 and production was started in 1967. Production was completed in 1981.

The new two-place was intended to be a complement to the single-place training glider then in production, the SGU 1-19. [1] [2] The SGU 2-22, indicating Schweizer Glider, Utility, 2 Seats, Model 22, was designed by Ernest Schweizer. The aircraft was based on the SGU 1-7 single place glider of 1937. It used the 1-7's metal wing, single spar and ...
It was wooden framed and mostly covered with plywood, though parts of the wing and all the rear control surfaces were fabric covered. Its one piece high wing was built around a single spar , well set back from the leading edge and with closely spaced (210 mm (8.3 in)) ribs to preserve the laminar flow profile of the ply covered forward part.
The Schweizer SGS 1-26 is a United States One-Design, single-seat, mid-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York. [3]The SGS 1-26 enjoyed a very long production run from its first flight in 1954 until 1979, when production was ended.
The glider therefore maintains the same trim whether flown single seated or dual seated. The D-type leading edge torsion box is of plywood and the whole wing is fabric-covered. There are metal Schempp-Hirth air brakes above and below the wing, and the wooden ailerons are fabric-covered. The fuselage is a welded steel tube structure with spruce ...
The DG Flugzeugbau DG-1000 is a two-seater class glider built by DG Flugzeugbau. It first flew in July 2000 at Speyer in Germany. [1] There are four models, with 18- and 20-metre wings [1] of HQK-51 profile. The latest DG-1001 variant replaced the DG-505 in production. [2]
The Motorspatz was an early attempt to create a self-launching glider. Scheibe accomplished this by mounting a Hirth engine in the nose of a mostly stock Spatz glider. [1] [2] The SF-24 is constructed with a welded steel tube fuselage that mounts the monowheel landing gear, with a small tail wheel for ground maneuvering.
The LS5 was announced in 1980 as Rolladen-Schneider’s entry into the exclusive Open Class.The economic viability of the design was compromised, however, with the arrival in 1981 of the Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-3 and the Schleicher ASW 22, both of which outclassed the predicted performance of the yet-to-fly LS5.
