Göppingen Gö 4

__NOTOC__

The Göppingen Gö 4 was a German sailplane of the late 1930s used for training pilots. Its most notable features included a side-by-side seating format and dual controls, making the plane ideal for use as a trainer. It boasted average performance, compared to other gliders of the day, and was advertised as making the process of learning to fly sailplanes easier.

The Go.4 had been designed primarily as an improvement over the Go.2, which sported inline seating rather than the more instruction-friendly format of the Go.4. Despite the alterations, the fuselage was kept as narrow as possible. The Go-4 was produced in Kirchheim, and was first flown in 1937.
