About the AS 34 ME
The Alexander Schleicher AS 34 ME is a German single-seat glider utilizing a self-launching electric propulsion system. Suited for standard and 18-metre class soaring, the sailplane features a composite mid-wing layout, a T-tail, and retractable monowheel landing gear.
Rooted in earlier company designs, the aircraft relocates battery packs into the wings while employing an air-cooled electric motor paired with a fully retractable propeller. The propulsion arrangement provides sustained climb capabilities following takeoff, allowing pilots to extend cross-country flights through thermal soaring methods.
