The Zögling ({{langx|en|pupil}}) is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single seat primary glider that was designed by Alexander Lippisch in 1926 and produced with many variations by a variety of manufacturers.{{Cite web|url = http://www.luftfahrtmuseum.com/htmi/itf/slzgl.htm|title = Stamer Lippisch Zögling|access-date = 14 May 2011|last = The Virtual Aviation Museum|year = n.d.|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110605235323/http://www.luftfahrtmuseum.com/htmi/itf/slzgl.htm|archive-date = 5 June 2011|url-status = dead}}
Design and development
The Zögling was designed to be a training glider for basic flight training. The usual launch method was by bungee cord from a sloped hill. Because training was conducted solely by solo flight the aircraft had to be very easy to fly and also easy to repair.
The high-wing design uses a kingpost and cable bracing. The primary structure of the glider is of wood, with the wings, tail surfaces and inverted "V" kingpost all finished in doped aircraft fabric covering. The pilot sits on a simple seat in the open air, without a windshield.
