The Bekas, which first flew in 1968, was a development of an earlier, 1959, design of Stefan Brochocki , The BKB-1. The design of the Bekas 1-A had three main aims : a higher L/D (archieved by using a greater span and aspect ratio), easier ground handling and rigging and a flexible wing to study…

The Bergfalke 2, dating from 1951, was succeeded by the 2/55 with higher gross weight and payload (ATC). The –3 has four degrees of forward wing sweep with airbrakes. The –4…
The Beta 1 was designed with the intent of being the US’s first fiberglass production sailplane. The semi boom-and-pod fuselage was composed of two fiberglass half-shells that join top and bottom. It featured a fully-reclined pilot position, T-tail with mass-balanced elevators, fixed gear and Schempp-Hirth speed-limiting dive brakes. The Beta 1 has been donated to…

The ES-60 Boomerang was designed at the request of the Gliding Federation of Australia as a faster and stronger Standard Class sailplane for competitions. The original model had an all- moving tail, but a version…
