Schempp-Hirth - Synonumous With Success In Competitive Gliding
From DIAB, Inc.
 

 
The name of Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH (Kirchheim unter Teck, Württemberg, Germany) is synonymous with success in competitive gliding. Its sailplanes have so far amassed a total of 26 world championship titles (40% of all the world titles awarded to date). Schempp-Hirth gliders have also won countless European titles and over 50 USA national titles. Despite being in business for more than 70 years, the company continues to break records and new ground in terms of glider design and development. In December last year in Argentina Klaus Ohlmann set a new world speed record, averaging 306 kmh (190 mph) over a 500 km (310 miles) out and return in a Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-4DM. This was quickly followed in January by Sigi Baumgartl who set a new speed record of 156.3 kmh (97.12 mph) over a 750 km (466 miles) triangle in Namibia in his Schempp-Hirth Ventus cM/15m (15 meter wingspan).
