Die Probeflüge mit der AS 33 Es und der AS 34 Me waren bereits genial, besonders das elektrische Antriebssystem hat sehr überzeugt. Einfache Bedienung und satte Leistung! Sitzkomfort und Ergonomie auch top. In der Kombination mit den Klappen und überhaupt dem ganzen Flugverhalten der 33 wird es ein Traum-Gerät! Der Haben-Wollen-Faktor ist schon extrem hoch 😅
@@cloudstreets1396 but they will fly for 50 or 70 years, the end of the 60Th produced ones still fly and good pilots are able to fly a 1000 kilometers triangle with 140 even 165 km/ h( Terry Delore) average not so far what the best pilots nowadays are able to fly with the modern gliders .

Question to manufacturer, why you don´t using spraying colors directly into the molds as is normal in RC molding industry? Why aerodynamic engineers are trying to do their best and after that workers destroy that precise surface from mould by spraying colors on it by hands ...?
All great questions. If you saw in the video - the batteries are wing mounted. I was hoping they mounted in the engine bay like the JS3 RES. However, this method has it's advantages as well, I'm sure. For me: I'd much rather engine bay loaded batteries. But... I would RATHER have wing AND engine bay loaded batteries. In my DG505MB - if I could pull the engine out and put batteries where the fuel tank would go, batteries in the newfound dead space in the engine bay, and batteries where the water ballast would go, there would be some incredible capacity.
Hi! The empty weight of the AS 33 Me is about 415 kg in 18 m configuration. In the development process we expected a climb rate of 3,6 m/s at 35 kw shaft power for starting and 2.3 m/s with 25 kw continous shaft power. But we already saw at the maiden flight that we calculated neutral and can exceed those numbers. You can self launch and climb with 600 kg, Yes! That was the goal, not to limit the gliders performance. Climb altitude after launch to 500 m will be around 2200m of altitude. So your range will be: glide from 2200m + the distance you already travel while climbing. You dont need to access the batteries for charging. Because with the central charging port inside of the cockpit its very easy to charge your glider. Just connect your charger cable and the AS 33 Me is magically charging. There is also a solution for easy charging inside of the trailer, for the times your glider is not rigged. You can also find more information about the AS 33 Me on our website. We hope that this comment could help you and you have a wonderful day!
@@alexanderschleicher1681 so 10kw per m/s getting a bit worse with speed? Any way to improve it? What about 10kw? I think a larger diameter propeller can in theory use less power, but it would have to be on the nose? The glider would need to be launched with a winch, isn't that also a lot more energy efficient?
I'm curious about your design descision to go for a pod mounted motor instead of a nose mounted motor. I would have thought that the pod mount would have been heavier.
It's heavier but you get more ground clearance and can place a humongously proper propeller on the pylon. The retractable tail wheel can then be made to sit much higher, giving the glider better handling during the transition to aileron control. If you look at the JS3 with its low sitting tail - during launch you almost always see a wing nearly drag the ground, despite full control deflection being applied. This is because the wing isn't ready to fly yet and is at a very high AOA as it goes down the runway. My DG has instantaneous aileron control because it takes off on the main and nose gear. So I immediately recognized what AS engineers were after when they chose the massive, weird looking retractable wheel. NOW I love it. It will make launches, whether self, winch or aero far safer with heavy heavy wings! I'm so excited about this development and their pylon mounted motor. Also - don't forget how the motor up front confounds the CG and thereby makes you ballast a terrible amount of weight in the tail, increasing the weight at the end of the glider increases its moment and makes it less nimble.
@@TheSoaringChannel Can you please highlight the videos with the JS3 RES nearly dragging its wingtip on the ground? - in the few I have seen, I have not seen this issue............the JS2 however is a different matter.
Ach so wunderschön - die Flüge und Segler von SCHLEICHER
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Erstflug dieses "Traumschiff´s", dann gehe ich morgen gleich mal Lotto spielen!
Beste Grüße aus Beilngries!
Congrats!!

What a superb aircraft. I did not know such a power glider existed?
Typically German excellent engineering 👍😊
Sehr schick!
Congrats! Bang of a ship!
Tellement beau 😍
I saw Stefan Langer testing this, very impressive ❤️
No you didn't, you saw him testing the as34me or the as33es ........................ he hasn't flown the as33me
I'm going to buy this one! I've already sold one kidney, now waiting for a buyer for the other one.
Congrats! Nice Glider :)
That’s awesome!! I really want to learn to fly and be in one of these
They cost as much as a house. So start saving now

Very cool!
YES YES YES!!!! (nothing more clever to day from me 😉)
Another thing in the video it seems the voltage is reaching 380 Volt just about,is that true?
...soooo geht Segelflugzeugbau...yes..!!

What's it's empty weight? Climb rate? Can it climb at 600KG? Range after launch? Ease of accessing batteries for charging?

Daddy WANTS!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Ich glaub die 33er leuft etwas besser als unsere Vereins 23 XD jetzt muss ich nur noch meine Niere verkaufen
