Comment:
The ASK-23 is a composite structure flapless early solo/ club sailplane designed as a successor to the Schleicher Ka-8 and ASK-18. It is the single-place counterpart of the two-place ASK-21 with cockpit layout similar to that of the latterﾒs front cockpit. It has a fixed gear and Schempp-Hirth type airbrakes.
