Search for a glider called "Huetter 30 TS"... (look here, for example: http://vintagesailplanes.de/Huetter30TS.htm). First flight was in 1960. It later became the Libelle and Salto... but it failed miserably with the turbine engine although it was a very good glider. Noise, fuel consumption and bad climb rates were the killer factors.
