ASK 21 | Aerofly FS

Description

The Schleicher ASK 21 is very common two-seat glider used primarily for beginner and aerobatic flight training with a maximum takeoff weight of 600kg and a glide ratio of 33.5. The design is kept simple without trailing edge flaps, with a fixed landing gear and simple but effective air-brakes. Its easy handling characteristics and robust construction also enable aerobatic maneuvers between -4.0 to +6.5 g’s. Its maiden flight was in 1979 and over 1000 units have been built since.
