Default Glider Cockpit Safety

Is there any aircraft which has room for a ballistic shute and an engine aft of the cockpit? I think it is the popularity of engines which has prevented more widespread fitment of ballistic chutes.


GP 14/15E has a tiny fuselage that likely has less wetted area than any other glider fuselage. It has room for both chute and engine.
