The Akaflieg Braunschweig SB-10 Schirokko is a German two-seat high performance sailplane designed and built by students of Brunswick University.[1] The sailplane was not intended for production.[1]
The SB-10 is a cantilever shoulder-wing monoplane with a steel-tube structure fuselage and it used the wings from the earlier SB-9 Stratus.[1] The two crew sit in tandem in an enclosed cockpit with a Plexiglass canopy, and it is fitted with dual instrumentation.[1] The landing gear is a sprung retractable monowheel with a tail bumber.[1] The wingtips are interchangable and two types can be fitted to give a 26m or 29m span.[1]
