Quality, performance, safety and all-round properties have been the most important attributes of our popular two-seater since the DG-1000 was released. With over 300 copies sold, the aircraft of the DG-1000 family are successfully used in all areas of gliding.

It was therefore a logical step for us to further develop this successful model. With the DG-1001e neo, the first double-seater with the popular FES drive now appears in series.

Also new is the 20m outer wing with neo-winglet. As with all other neo-winglets, the design was made by Johannes Dillinger and based on the latest aerodynamic knowledge.
