Overview

The Hütter H-30 was a single-seat glider design by German designer Wolfgang Hütter. Conceived in 1948, the H-30 laid the foundation for later designs by the manufacturer Glasflügel. The H-30 was intended to be a low cost company aircraft with high functionality and serviceability. Three variants of the H-30 were designed; the H-30, a prototype made out of wood; the H-30 GFK, built with Glassfibre re-inforced plastic; and the H-30 TS, built with a jet motor-glider powered by a BMW 8026 turbojet engine.
