ASK 21 Mi - A Trainer like No Other!
The Concept
The recipe is straight forward. Take a very popular two-seater and fit a proven and powerful engine for conversion it into a self-launcher. What you get is a very interesting aircraft that opens the door for highly efficient training on one hand and allows independent operations without gliding infrastructure on the other.
Especially during the week, training and dual joy-flying becomes possible - even for less experienced pilots and on days when the weather is not entirely cooperative. Also, highly realistic outlanding training and efficient cross country coaching becomes possible without relying on outside help or assistance.
Much smaller, less expensive and easier to handle than open class gliders the ASK 21 Mi is a perfect alternative for gliding enthusiasts and pilots who appreciate the sophistication and reliability of our rotary engine technology.
Gliding safaris, wave exploration or just a quick fun flight become reality
with a minimum of effort and without involvement of others.
For these and many other good reasons motorized gliders are enjoying an ever increasing popularity.
After the introduction of the JAR-FCL regulations every pilot with a gliding license requires only a conversion to fly gliders
such as the ASK 21 Mi. Take advantage of the many opportunities and enjoy a whole new dimension of gliding.
The Power plant
Dual engine controls in front and back seat and logical engine operations ensure a very simple engine management.
Our 56hp fuel injected rotary engine provides impressive take off and climb performance and features very low noise emissions.
It runs without any vibration and also features the lowest fuel consumption of any self launching glider.
In fact, the large 26 liter fuselage tank allows a range of approx. 500 km using the saw-tooth method. Refueling only requires standard unleaded fuel and
is accomplished through a convenient fuselage refueling hatch.
Best of all, engine retraction is not dependant on numerous sensitive
electronic components - we have simply integrated a mechanical propeller stop.
