The Schempp-Hirth Duo Discus is a high-performance two-seat glider primarily designed for fast cross-country flying, including gliding competitions.
The Duo Discus replaced the Janus as Schempp Hirth's high-performance two-seater trainer.
Although it shares its name with the highly successful Standard Class Discus, any resemblance is only superficial.
The cockpit is now 10 cm longer to improve seat comfort, security, space, and ergonomics.
The airbrake system has been moved 4 cm towards the leading edge, and now extends 18 mm higher.
