Schleicher ASG 29

__NOTOC__

The Schleicher ASG 29 is a German sailplane in production since 2006. It can be flown as a 18 metre Class glider or as a 15 metre Class glider. The manufacturer is Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. The 'G' indicates this is a design of the German designer Michael Greiner. It is a refinement of the popular ASW 27 and for certification purposes it is designated the ASW-27-18.

The ASG 29 has plain flaps and winglets. The structure is a complex composite of carbon, aramid and polyethylene fibre reinforced plastic. This permits a light structure with the strength to carry large amounts of water ballast, thus permitting the widest possible range of wing loadings for weak and strong soaring weather.

The unmotorised version made its first flight on 9 November 2005. The 'E' version has a self-sustaining engine (SOLO 2350, 18 hp 2-stroke) and was certified in February 2008.
