Paul, William (Bill), and Ernest Schweizer were three brothers who started building gliders in 1930. In 1937, they formed the Schweizer Metal Aircraft Company. Their first commercial glider sale was an SGU 1-7 glider to Harvard University's Altosaurus Glider Club. At that time, Eliot Noyes was a sailplane pilot in the Harvard soaring club. That glider was later restored and currently resides at the National Soaring Museum in Elmira, New York.

has abstract	Paul, William (Bill), and Ernest Schweizer were three brothers who started building gliders in 1930. In 1937, they formed the Schweizer Metal Aircraft Company. Their first commercial glider sale was an SGU 1-7 glider to Harvard University's Altosaurus Glider Club. At that time, Eliot Noyes was a sailplane pilot in the Harvard soaring club. That glider was later restored and currently resides at the National Soaring Museum in Elmira, New York. In 1939, the Schweizer brothers relocated to Elmira, New York, and incorporated as Schweizer Aircraft. Best known internationally for their gliders, they also remembered the importance of the folks who worked with them and for them. Over their nearly 70 years, they enabled creation of various flying machines; from gliders to crop dusters to helicopters, while contributing to the aircraft industry as a whole, and the Southern Tier of New York in particular. According to a recent editorial in the Elmira Star-Gazette, when it came time to sell the company, the brothers wanted to find a buyer who respected their values and their folks, and chose the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (a UTC subsidiary) in Connecticut. The sale was completed successfully in 2004, providing growth opportunities for Schweizer. All three brothers have been inducted to the U.S. Soaring Hall of Fame; Paul and Ernest in its second year, 1955 (along with the Wright Brothers), and later William in 1984. Paul and Ernest also won the 1953 Warren E. Eaton Memorial Trophy, considered Soaring Society of America's highest award.

Ce planeur a ensuite été restauré et réside actuellement au National Soaring Museum à Elmira, New York. En 1939, les frères Schweizer ont déménagé à Elmira, New York, et se sont incorporés sous le nom de Schweizer Aircraft. Mieux connus à l'échelle internationale pour leurs planeurs, ils se sont également souvenus de l'importance des gens qui travaillaient avec eux et pour eux. Au cours de leurs près de 70 ans, ils ont permis la création de diverses machines volantes ; des planeurs aux crop dusters en passant par les hélicoptères, tout en contribuant à l'industrie aéronautique dans son ensemble, et à la partie sud de New York en particulier. Selon un récent éditorial de la Elmira Star-Gazette, au moment de vendre l'entreprise, les frères ont voulu trouver un repreneur qui respecte leurs valeurs et leurs gens, et ont choisi la Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (une filiale d'UTC ) dans le Connecticut . La vente a été conclue avec succès en 2004, offrant des opportunités de croissance à Schweizer. Les trois frères ont été intronisés au Soaring Hall of Fame des États-Unis ; Paul et Ernest dans sa deuxième année, 1955 (avec les frères Wright), et plus tard William en 1984. Paul et Ernest ont également remporté le trophée commémoratif Warren E. Eaton de 1953, considéré comme la plus haute distinction de la Soaring Society of America. En 1940, le pilote Lewin Barringer a compilé un livre, Flight Without Power: The Art of Gliding and Soaring, auquel Paul et Ernest Schweizer ont contribué pour les parties aérodynamique, conception, construction et l'entretien des planeurs.
