Mistral-C

About the Mistral-C

The Valentin Flugzeugbau MISTRAL-C is a German type-certificated glider designed to meet competition class rules. It accommodates a single pilot within a pod and boom monocoque fuselage featuring a manually retractable main landing wheel and a single-piece framed canopy. The aircraft employs a shoulder-wing monoplane layout built primarily from composite materials.

Created as a development of an earlier high-performance standard class glider, the aircraft incorporated a modified wing area, altered airfoil sections, and updated sandwich materials. Produced in Germany, the type achieved notable success in international competition and secured representation on various European civil registries.
