The ASW 20 is an FAI 15 metre Class glider designed by Gerhard Waibel and built by Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Its fuselage is nearly identical to the ASW19’s mated to newly designed wings for the 15 metre Class. The prototype first flew in 1977. It proved to be a highly successful glider winning several World Championships and was still being flown at this level up to 1995. Developments along its production life included winglets pneumatic turbulators and wingtip extensions.
