German single-seat motor glider by Alexander Schleicher in Germany, 1967
ASK 14 at Wallduern Airfield/Germany ASK 14 partially disassembled for maintenance ASK 14 in Australia British ASK 14
The Schleicher ASK 14 is a West German low-wing , single-seat motor glider that was designed by Rudolf Kaiser and produced by Alexander Schleicher GmbH &Co .[1] [2]
The aircraft is often referred to as the Schleicher AS-K 14 or the Schleicher ASK-14 , the AS Alexander Schleicher and the K Kaiser . The US Federal Aviation Administration designates the aircraft as the Schleicher ASK-14 , while Transport Canada and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority call it the Schleicher ASK 14 .[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Design and development
[ edit ]
The ASK 14 was developed as a low-wing motorized version of the Schleicher Ka 6E . The powerplant is a 19 kW (25 hp ) Hirth F10 K19 four-cylinder, two-stroke engine, made by Hirth and driving a fully feathering propeller .[1] [2]
The aircraft is built from wood and covered with doped aircraft fabric covering . The 14.4 m (47.2 ft ) span wing employs a NACA 63-618 airfoil at the wing root transitioning to a NACA 63-615 section at the wing tip and features spoilers . The monowheel landing gear is retractable. The cockpit is covered by a bubble canopy that gives all-around visibility.[1] [2]
Due to its Ka 6E heritage the handling of the ASK 14 was described by Soaring Magazine in 1983 as "superb".[2]
The ASK 14 was never type certified and aircraft registered in the United States were in the Experimental - Racing/Exhibition category. ASK 14s in Canada are in the category CAR Standard 507.03(5 )(a ) Aircraft Held a Flight Permit - Private Aircraft prior 01/89 . Those in the UK have an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness .[3] [4] [5]
Operational history
[ edit ]
ASK 14s finished second, third and fourth in the single-place class at the first international motorglider competition, that was held at Burg Feuerstein , West Germany in 1970.[1]
In 1971 former Soaring Magazine editor Bennett Rogers set the first United States motorgliding record in an ASK 14, flying 330.5 km (205 mi ) out-and-return from Rosamond, California , US.[2]
In July 2011 there were still eight ASK 14s registered with the FAA in the US, two with the UK Civil Aviation Authority and one registered with Transport Canada.[3] [4] [5]
