The Schweizer SGS 2-25 is a United States two-seat mid-wing two-place competition glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira New York. The 2-25 was purpose designed to compete in the 1954 World Gliding Championships held in Great Hucklow United Kingdom and was also flown in the World Championships held in 1956. There was insufficient market demand to produce the aircraft and so only one example was completed.
