Comment:
The H 17 was designed by the Hutter brothers in
Salzburg, Austria. The ﾑ17ﾒ indicated the glide
ratio. They sold plan sets until they joined
Schempp-Hirth, which then built about five as
the Goppingen 5 with the addition of a
windshield and main wheel. Many were built from
plans worldwide and several are still flying. A
post-war version was developed and marketed as
the H 17 B with enclosed cockpit, lengthened
fuselage and airbrakes. The H 17B has slightly
increased span and empty and loaded weights
increased about 50%. One H 17 belongs to the
National Soaring Museum. The Vintage Sailplane
Association has plans. |
