Looks like Schleicher is no longer including the designer in the designations...

Looks like the lead designers last name is Schmeisl. Do you really want to fly the ASS-33 or ASS-34?

It will be interesting to see how this AS-34 is different from the ASW-28. (Except, of course, the motor.)

If they are developing new state of the art technology in the AS-33 and incorporate that into the AS-34, that could be very interesting.

'28E airframe with 32EL power system. Would be a good use of existing stuff.

Would be rather stupid - the 28 wasn't much of a success.

Interesting! Judging from the picture they are using the new 33 fuselage and I bet everything else is new, too. If it's std. class only (no 18m), they are competing against light selflaunchers like GP and MiniLAK. I was waiting for someone to introduce light racing class electric selflauncher like GP15. I guess AS thought that there is more room for improvement in std. class where all competing gliders are designed 20+ years ago.
