The 'Akaflieg Berlin B12 is a high performance two-place glider aircraft that was designed and built in Germany. Conceived as a research vehicle, only one unit was constructed. The students at Akaflieg Berlin set out to improve the performance of modern gliders by reducing drag. To improve a modern glider's performance through modifying the aerofoil sections is time consuming and very costly, so to reduce costs the group utilised production wings from a Schemp-Hirth Janus B, shortened to 18.2m (59.71 feet), allowing the students to concentrate their efforts and budget on improving the fuselage.
