A sailplane or glider is a type of glider aircraft used in the sport of gliding. Sailplanes are aerodynamically streamlined and are capable of soaring in rising air.
Types of gliders
Sailplanes (or "sports gliders") benefit from producing the least drag for any given amount of lift, and this is best achieved with long, thin wings, a fully faired narrow cockpit and a slender fuselage. Aircraft with these features are able to climb efficiently in rising air produced by thermals or hills. Sailplanes can glide long distances at high speed with a minimum loss of height in between.
Gliders have rigid wings and either skids or undercarriage. In contrast hang gliders and paragliders use the pilot's feet for the start of the launch and for the landing. These latter types are described in separate articles, though their differences from sailplanes are covered below. Gliders are usually launched by winch or aerotow, though other methods: auto tow and bungee, are occasionally used.
The 1-36 was first flown in 1979 and a total of 43 were built by the time production was completed in 1982. The Sprite was reportedly still available to customers in 1987, but none were built after 1982.
The 1-36 was conceived as a replacement for the One-design competition Schweizer SGS 1-26, when production of that model ended in 1979.
The 1-36 was also the last glider model that the company would manufacture. The completion of production of the 1-36 in 1982 marked the end of an era that started in 1930 with the Schweizer SGP 1-1.
The SGS 1-36 Sprite was the only glider produced by Schweizer that was given an official marketing name.
Design and development
By the end of the 1970s the company decided to end manufacture of the SGS 1-26 one-design class sailplane, which had been in production since 1954. The 1-26 had proven the concept and popularity of one-design soaring competition and the company felt that a similar aircraft, but with more performance, would be popular.
The 1-21 was a clean-sheet design intended to fill the role of high performance competition sailplane. It was designed by Ernest Schweizer and first announced in the September–October 1946 issue of the Soaring Society of America's Soaring magazine.
Design and development
Following World War II soaring in the United States was dominated by surplus two-place gliders that had been used as trainers by the military, such as the TG-1, TG-2 and TG-3.
By the end of the war there were only about 400 gliders in the US. Of these only about a dozen were high performance competition sailplanes and half of these were pre-war designs. Schweizer Aircraft realized that if the US was to progress in the sport of soaring, that domestic mass-produced, high performance sailplanes would be needed.
The 1-21 was designed to be the high performance sailplane of choice in the post war era. While design had been completed in the summer of 1946, Schweizer had not built a prototype, hoping to get sufficient orders to make it worthwhile.

On a gloomy day, my first flight and landing of the 1-26 glider. Despite it being a small stubby glider, it floats like a hovercraft in ground effect. This was my first flight in a single seat glider!

Schweizer SGS-2-33 Glider Takeoff/Release Truckee-Tahoe Airport, CA (KTRK)
http://martinsaviation.blogspot.com/ Video filmed with my GoPro Hero3 HD from my first ever glider lesson out of the Truckee-Tahoe Airport (KTRK). The video speeds up after takeoff to the point of our release.
We were being towed by Piper PA-25 N7487Z (a typical glider tow-plane). So cool to be towed up by another plane! Never experienced anything like it!

Greggor Flight, May 5, 2015
Greggor's flight at the Atlantic Soaring Club, Harford County Airport.
This is two flights combined. Flight one (with camera pointed at
cockpit) had an 18 minute duration. Flight 2 (camera pointed forward)
lasted 47 minutes with peak altitude 5100 ft msl. Aircraft are: 1)
Greggor's SGS 1-26; 2) ASC's Scout tow plane.
Reigniting my passion for flying after a break. Footage is from the summer of 2016 I took up glider flying again which was amazing. When I look back I am truly grateful for having met such nice people in my life and blessed. There is nothing more pure with flying than being in a glider as known as sail planes it's just you and the air around you. I encourage everyone to take an experience flight it will change your view forever.

🎬Archaeopteryx-Lightest Sailplane In The World🎬
It is Archaeopteryx or Archaeopteryx glider, takes name from the ancient first Dinosaur bird. Archaeopteryx is single seat and the lightest sailplane in the world.
The Archaeopteryx can take off and land almost anywhere just like a hang glider but it flies like a conventional sailplane.

The Perlan 2 sailplane has soared to altitudes of more than 70,000 feet above the mountains of Argentina, with the goal of eventually reaching 90,000 feet. Its visit to Oshkosh last summer was one of the highlights of AirVenture 2022.

A sailplane or glider is a type of glider aircraft used in the sport of gliding. Sailplanes are aerodynamically streamlined and are capable of soaring in rising air.
Types of gliders
Sailplanes (or "sports gliders") benefit from producing the least drag for any given amount of lift, and this is best achieved with long, thin wings, a fully faired narrow cockpit and a slender fuselage. Aircraft with these features are able to climb efficiently in rising air produced by thermals or hills. Sailplanes can glide long distances at high speed with a minimum loss of height in between.
Gliders have rigid wings and either skids or undercarriage. In contrast hang gliders and paragliders use the pilot's feet for the start of the launch and for the landing. These latter types are described in separate articles, though their differences from sailplanes are covered below. Gliders are usually launched by winch or aerotow, though other methods: auto tow and bungee, are occasionally used.
On a gloomy day, my first flight and landing of the 1-26 glider. Despite it being a small stubby glider, it floats like a hovercraft in ground effect. This was my first flight in a single seat glider!

When I look back I am truly grateful for having met such nice people in my life and blessed.
