The firm Glasflügel (German: glass wings) was founded by Eugen Hänle in 1962 and was located in , south of Kirchheim unter Teck. It was the first firm to manufacture a glass-fibre sailplane in large numbers. It was also responsible for a large number of innovations in sailplane design and technology: quick assembly systems for wings and tailplane, automatic control connections, trailing edge airbrake-flap combinations, hinged instrument panels, the parallelogram control stick and automatic trimming are some innovations introduced by Glasflügel and later adopted by other manufacturers. Some of these are standard features in nearly all gliders produced today.

- Glasflügel var en tysk segelflygplansfabrik. Glasflügel Segelflugzeugbau grundades 1962 av konstruktören i söder om i Tyskland. Företagets första produkt var ett klaffat glasfiberflygplan med 15 meters spännvidd. Flygplanet serietillverkades under namnet . Flygplanets konstruktion var långt före dåtidens flygplan, och tillverkades i över 100 exemplar fram till 1969. När Eugen Hänsle omkom i en motorflygolycka 1975 kom företaget i kris, och klev in som en partner. 1982 upplöstes partnerskapet och Glasflügel försattes i konkurs. När företaget stängdes fanns en rad projekt som inte kunde färdigställas bland annat en tvåsitsare med 19 respektive 22 meters spännvidd. I samband med konkursen såldes merparten av flygplanskonstruktionerna och formarna till , som flyttade verksamheten till Grab (sv)

- The firm Glasflügel (German: glass wings) was founded by Eugen Hänle in 1962 and was located in , south of Kirchheim unter Teck. It was the first firm to manufacture a glass-fibre sailplane in large numbers. It was also responsible for a large number of innovations in sailplane design and technology: quick assembly systems for wings and tailplane, automatic control connections, trailing edge airbrake-flap combinations, hinged instrument panels, the parallelogram control stick and automatic trimming are some innovations introduced by Glasflügel and later adopted by other manufacturers. Some of these are standard features in nearly all gliders produced today. Glasflügel encountered financial difficulties in the 1970s which led to a co-operation with the firm Schempp-Hirth starting from May 1975. The death of Eugen Hänle in a flight accident on September 21 of the same year further aggravated the company's position, and after further changes in ownership in 1979, it was finally dissolved in 1982.
