Antonov A-13

The Antonov A-13 was a Soviet aerobatic sailplane flown in the 1950s and 1960s.

It was a small, single-seat, all-metal aircraft developed from the A-11 which could optionally be fitted with that aircraft's longer-span wings.

It was a mid-wing monoplane with a tadpole-like fuselage and a V-tail.

In February 1962, an A-13 was fitted with a small turbojet engine to set a world airspeed record of 196 km/h (122 mph) for an aircraft weighing up to 500 kg.

This jet-powered version was known as the An-13 Data from The World's Sailplanes:Die Segelflugzeuge der Welt:Les Planeurs du Monde Volume II [1]General characteristics Performance
