A glance behind the curtain
Episode 1 - the design team
Today we start a new series called “Behind the curtain”. Here we highlight our different departments and gliders and bring you closer to the everyday life of an aircraft manufacturer.
We start with our development team giving you their thoughts on a few topics. This video is divided into two parts. Have fun with it!
Late Night Soaring’s Interview with Baptiste Innocent
Baptiste Innocent talks about his historic flight in the ASH 31 Mi
At the beginning of August, Frenchman Baptiste Innocent managed a flight on his ASH 31 Mi that will be remembered for a long time.
In pure gliding flight he managed to fly from France to Corsica. From there he flew back to Italy and over the Alpine arc back to France.
All without the help of his Wankel engine. If you now look at the map, you will see that a very large part of this route leads across the sea.
In his interview with Late Night Soaring he talks about how he realized this project with the ASH 31 Mi.

From 1.8. to 12.8. the “FCC Gliding” competition took place in Prievidza. During this time, with mixed weather at the beginning, 10 days could be flown. Michael Streit was able to keep his nerves even on the weak days in his AS 33 Es and managed to beat the competition in the end. But AS 33 Es pilots were also able to fly their way onto the podium in Austria and Rieti.

The new open-class independence.

The AS 34 Me and AS 33 win the Innovations Award 2021.
more then 58 % of the readers voted for one of our gliders.
It’s that time again, the Aerokurier honors the best innovations of the year. This time, though, not as usual at the Aero in Friedrichshafen, but only in writing and pictures. However, this is not less reason for joy, because we could reach the places 1 and 2 in the readers’ choice. A total of over 58% of the readers voted for one of our aircraft.
The AS 33 wins three competitions in a row!
After the victory in Austria, the AS 33 also shows its class in Poland and Finland.
After the AS 33 flew the first 1000 km flight and the first 1000 km triangle with Christian Mäx and won the first competition in the 15 m variant with Guido Achleitner, it remains on the road of success.
We could celebrate two victories at the weekend. In Poland there was a thriller lasting 8 days, which was decided on the last day. In Finland, Petri Sucksdorff let the AS 33 off the leash and was able to regain the lead shortly before the end.
