The Schleicher ASK 14 is a West German low-wing, single-seat motor glider that was designed by Rudolf Kaiser and produced by Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co.〔Said, Bob: ''1983 Sailplane Directory, Soaring Magazine'', page 131. Soaring Society of America, November 1983. USPS 499-920〕 The aircraft is often referred to as the Schleicher AS-K 14 or the Schleicher ASK-14, the ''AS'' for ''Alexander Schleicher'' and the ''K'' for ''Kaiser''. The US Federal Aviation Administration designates the aircraft as the ''Schleicher ASW-14'', while Transport Canada and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority call it the ''Schleicher ASK 14''.〔〔 ==Design and development== The ASK 14 was developed as a low-wing motorized version of the Schleicher Ka 6E. The powerplant is a Hirth F10 K19 two-cylinder, two-stroke engine, made by Hirth and driving a fully feathering propeller.〔〔 The aircraft is built from wood and covered with doped aircraft fabric covering. The span wing employs a NACA 63-618 airfoil at the wing root transitioning to a NACA 63-615 section at the wing tip and features spoilers. The monowheel landing gear is retractable. The cockpit is covered by a bubble canopy that gives all-around visibility.〔〔 Due to its Ka 6E heritage the handling of the ASK 14 was described by Soaring Magazine in 1983 as "superb".〔 The ASK 14 was never type certified and aircraft registered in the United States were in the ''Experimental - Racing/Exhibition '' category. ASW 14s in Canada are in the category ''CAR Standard 507.03(5)(a) Aircraft Held a Flight Permit - Private Aircraft prior 01/89''. Those in the UK have an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness.〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schleicher ASK 14」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
