The ASK 13 is a two-seater glider that was built by Alexander Schleicher. It was and still is widely used for ab-initio training of glider pilots. In 1965 Rudolf Kaiser continued development of the two-seated Ka 2 and Schleicher Ka 7 by introducing the ASK 13. It uses a mixture of materials including metal wood and glassfibre. It has swept-forward single-spar wings positioned lower than in the Ka 7 which allows for a large blown canopy providing a good all-round view for both pilots.
