This is a list of gliders/sailplanes of the world, (this reference lists all gliders with references, where available) [1] Note: Any aircraft can glide for a short time, but gliders are designed to glide for longer.

This list includes any types which had 10 or more aircraft built or types which are important to glider development. All the gliders in this list can be found in the J2MCL web site with individual pages for each type. [1] This list does not include Motor glider types. (N.B. Some specifications are quoted with the wrong units!!)
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 L-13 Blaník was designed by Karel Dlouhý of VZLÚ Letňany c. 1956, building upon the experience gained with the Letov XLF-207 Laminar, the first Czech glider to employ laminar flow wing profiles. The L-13 was developed as a practical glider suitable for basic flight instruction, aerobatic instruction and cross-country training.
