The DG1000 is a self-launching glider of the Two Seater Class built by DG Flugzeugbau. It first flew in July 2000 at Speyer in Germany. There are four models:
- DG1000S, the standard 20 metre span version
- DG1000S 18/20, can be flown either as an 18 metre or 20 metre glider
- DG1000S Club, only 18 metre span, fixed undercarriage and no capacity for water ballast
- DG1000T, 18 or 20 metre span with a turbo.
With an 18 metre span it is fully certified for aerobatics; with a 20 metre span it is certified for limited aerobatics.
The retractable engine is mounted on a pylon aft of the double cockpit. There is a reduction gear (2:3 to 1.0) between the engine and the two-blade carbon-fibre composite propeller. The propeller was designed and is produced by the DG factory.
