Does anyone know what active type, make and model of sailplane is the
most numerous in the world and in the USA?


Bill Snead


Non-military the Grunau Baby is the most build, with maybe over 5000
build. The LET L-13 Blanik should be around 2700, the most build glass
ship should be the LS 4 with some 1050 build, the most build glider
still in production must be the Schempp-Hirth Discus with supposedly
over 850 build to date. The Discus CS, identical to the Discus B, is
still in production for SH in the Czech Republik.
