About the HB-23 Hobbyliner

The Brditschka HB-23 Hobbyliner is an Austrian motor glider featuring an unorthodox layout with a single engine and propeller positioned behind the fuselage pod. Accommodating a single pilot within a high-wing configuration, the aircraft utilizes a fixed tricycle undercarriage and a T-tail supported by dual tail booms.

Evolving from work undertaken in Germany during the 1960s, the family of motor gliders includes variants with differing seating arrangements and canopy access. A notable derivative served as an experimental testbed for pioneering early electric flight, achieving milestone crewed flights powered entirely by a battery-driven electric motor.
