Design and development

The ASG 32 is a two-seat mid-wing sailplane of composite construction, it has a retractable landing wheel and a horizontal tail mounted atop the vertical fin (T-tail).

The aircraft was announced in April 2013, with the intention that it would fill the gap between the ASK 21 trainer and the larger Schleicher ASH 30 Open Class two seater. The ASG 32 meets the requirements of the FAI 20 metre Two-Seater Class. Pure sailplane, motorized self-launching and sustainer engine versions were announced.[2]

Construction of the prototype started in 2013, during which the fuselage and tailplane were displayed.[3] The maiden flight was on 31 May 2014, piloted by the designer Michael Greiner and the Schleicher CEO, Peter Kremer.[1]

The electrically powered variant of the ASG 32 will be delivered after the other variants.[4]

The ASG 32 and ASG 32 Mi were awarded an EASA Type Certificate on 11 February 2016.[5]
