The Alexander Schleicher design team
With the new AS 33 Alexander Schleicher breaks with the decades long tradition of including the designer’s name in a new aircraft’s model designation. This shows even more emphatically that new developments from the AS design division are products of teamwork. At the same time the depth of development expertise within AS is significantly increased through the use of new technologies such as modern CFD software.
Our current design team is led by three highly qualified aerospace engineers, supported by other extremely experienced co-workers. This means that the AS design team is ideally constituted and equipped to deal with future design challenges.
