variants with their own articles=The Glasflügel 206 Hornet was a Standard Class sailplane produced in Germany in the 1970s and 80s. Of conventional sailplane design with a T-tail, it was developed from the Club Libelle and featured the same composite construction throughout. Differences from the earlier aircraft included a redesigned canopy, retractable monowheel landing gear, and provision for 75 kg (165 lb) of water ballast.

An improved version, the Hornet C was produced in 1979, incorporating a new one-piece canopy originally designed for the Mosquito and an increase in water ballast capacity to 170 kg (375 lb). The wing was also revised, making extensive use of carbon fibre structures to save weight.
