It is a Standard Class glider with a 15-metre span, and laminar-flow airfoil section designed by Professor Franz Wortmann.

The washout was then increased to -1.5 degrees which improved low-speed performance and response at slow speed.

These included better air-brakes with an increased frontal area and a safer tailplane attachment system.

A French firm, Lanaverre Industrie, had also built 38 Standard Cirruses under licence by 1979.

The only thing different about them is the fact it had its wing on top of the fuselage mounted on a fiberglass beam of some sort.

This incorporated a longer fuselage and canopy, and a conventional tailplane and elevator with the wings of the Cirrus 75.
