About the Discus 2T

The Schempp-Hirth Discus 2T is a German type-certificated glider and single-seat sailplane built for soaring enthusiasts. It features a single engine layout and a specialized fuselage configuration, with variant options including narrow and wider body styles.

Production of this Standard Class sailplane began in the late nineties as a successor to a previous model from the same manufacturer. Modifications included a revised wing section with a distinct leading edge and increased tip dihedral, alongside optional winglets. While competitive alternatives affected overall sales compared to its predecessor, this aircraft has been utilized by various services under alternative designations.
