The ASK-21 is a two-seat glider with high performance and great manoeuverability which though managing to answer the needs of basic instruction, and due to its characteristics, is mainly aimed for advanced activities of sail flight at a competition level. It is, therefore, a glider which should be used essencially for the "higher and further" flight as well as for acrobatic flying. The ASK-21 is flown by the Aerial Activities Department of the Students Corps at the Air Force Academy.
