About the Bergfalke-III

The Scheibe Bergfalke-III is a German tandem two-seat glider designed for training and competition use. It features a high-wing sailplane layout with air brakes, a non-retractable monowheel, and a tail wheel, making it well-suited for instructional flying and gliding clubs.

Tracing its roots back to an earlier prototype created in Austria, the design entered production after the founding of the manufacturing firm. Subsequent updates brought a more streamlined cockpit canopy, a taller fin and rudder, and forward-swept wings. Over the years, the platform saw various modifications, including licence-built versions and experimental motor glider variants equipped with auxiliary engines.
