The Schleicher ASK 18 is a single-seat sailplane that was built by the German manufacturer Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. It was designed to be a sturdy aircraft for inexperienced solo pilots and so uses a simple and rugged construction and has docile handling characteristics. It was designed by Rudolf Kaiser and was the last Schleicher glider to use the traditional construction method. It was built when aircraft of the same class such as the Grob G-102 Astir were made of glass-fibre.
