The Schreder HP-11 is a homebuilt glider designed by Richard Schreder in 1962. Schreder campaigned the prototype in the 1963 World Soaring Championships in Argentina, achieving a third-place finish.
After minor modifications, including adoption of retractable undercarriage and deletion of the prototype's flap-aileron interconnect, Schreder marketed the HP-11A version as a kit. Several dozen were completed and flown through the mid-1970s.
The HP-11 is constructed almost entirely of aluminum alloy, using plastics and fiberglass composites only for non-structural fairings. The wings are of conventional riveted construction. The wing spar is an I-beam assembled from 7075-T6 alloy sheet and angle extrusions.
Like other Schreder sailplanes, the HP-11 uses 90-degree flaps for glidepath control.
