Comment:
The SHK 17 m. Open Class sailplane was developed
in 1965 from the 15 m. Standard Austria/ SH-1,
with V-tail surfaces 50 % larger and other
improvements. It has a mass balanced all moving
tailplane with aerodynamic trim tabs. An SHK
finished in 3rd place in the Open Class of the
1965 World Championships at South Cerney in
England. In 1967 an improved model was
introduced (most of the emphasis being directed
toward increasing cockpit comfort) and a tail
chute was made available. The SHK may have been
the ultimate development of the conventional
wooden sailplane before composite ships became
widely available. One example belongs to the
National Soaring Museum. ATC |
