Is the ASW-27B still being made?

Eric Greenwell wrote: small fuel cell. I've wondered if a gas-electric hybrid would be practical. A gas motor powerful enough to supply half the energy of a 2000' climb at 500 fpm would be about 20 hp, a fair sized motor. So again, maybe the solution is a big enough Li battery to do the whole 2000', then use 4 hp motor to recharge the battery over the next 30 minutes or so. Apparently there was a gas-electric hybrid glider at the AERO Friedrichshafen show, or at least a poster about one. SoaringCafe has pictures from the show. One pic is of a diagram of an Albastar 18m glider with internal gasoline engine driving a generator linked to a FES.
