The Bikle T-6 is an American mid-wing single seat glider designed by Paul Bikle and based upon the design of the Schreder HP-14. Even though only one T-6 was built it is noted as the most tested and studied glider with complete data published. It has been used extensively as a comparative reference glider for evaluating other designs during in-flight comparisons.
It is the successor of the Schreder HP-14 .
