Comment:
The ASW-15, which first flew in 1968, was
Schleicherﾒs first composite Standard Class
design, originally appearing with a fixed wheel
and no water ballast in conformity with the then
Standard Class rules. It has an all-moving
horizontal tail and metal airbrakes for glidepath
control. With the modification of the Standard
Class rules to allow water ballast and
retractable gear, Schleicher fitted a retracting
gear, installed 38 kg./ 83 lb. Tanks in each wing
and strengthened keel, lengtened cockpit, larger
rudder and increased all-up weight. ATC |
