built entirely from fibreglass, the h36 family all use a wortmann fx 63-137 airfoil. the wings feature top-surface schempp-hirth-style airbrakes. the wings can be folded by two people in a few minutes to allow storage. the original h36 has wings, while the later members of the family added slightly greater span. the h36 offers a 27:1 glide ratio, while later variants improved that by one point, to 28:1. cockpit accommodation seats two in side-by-side configuration, under a hinged bubble canopy.
