ABOUT HPH

HpH Ltd. is a company long established in the aviation industry. Having been involved with initial construction of the Diamond Dimona, Katana, and more recently the mighty EB29, HpH have gained a reputation for exceptional engineering build quality and attention to detail.

In 1997, the HPH company succeeded in gaining the technology and production documentation for the original Glasflügel 304. Production started in 1997 with an updated version of the Glasflügel 304, the HpH 304CZ, which proved very successful both with customers and in competitions. After that, HpH filled a gap in the market producing the HpH304C Wasp, an inexpensive FAI Standard Class version of the 304CZ and both models are highly praised in the gliding community.

HPH have taken all of this knowledge, design & manufacturing know-how to produce a highly competitive sailplane with the »all-new« HpH Shark series. Introducing new dimensions to gliding, and producing a refreshing alternative to the established competition, HPH have already shipped over 70 Shark gliders to customers worldwide, including North America, Canada, Australia and throughout Europe.

CAPABILITIES

FIBERGLASS HIGH PERFORMANCE GLIDERS

Gliders became a new production target in 1998. The HPH company succeeded to gain the complete technology and production documentation for a German glider named Glasflügel 304, a development of Eugen Hänle.

The first glider produced by HPH Ltd. in 1997 under the name Glasflügel 304CZ carried only small arrangements in its construction. No fundamental modernization was needed because of the timeless construction which set the shapes and features of the next development generation.

This was only the beginning of a successful story for HPH as a sailplane producer. Today, we have a whole range of sailplanes designed from scratch by HpH itself. Our gliders find their customers all over the world.

PROTOTYPING FOR CIVIL AND MILITARY CLIENTS

We realize the development and prototype production for our own needs as well as for customers out of different industry fields. Particular attention is payed on airplanes (gliders, UL category, VLA category, UAV, industry prototyping).

Our CNC 3D fast prototyping is focused on job-order model manufacture, single-part production, lot production and trimming plastics.

We dispose of the latest state-of-the-art technology, e.g. six units of 5-axial CNC machines. The biggest one has a working area of 9m x 3m x 3,5m. Our customers come from every industry sector.

OUR HISTORY

The Glasflügel 304 from Egon Hänle plays a leading part in our company’s story. Therefore, we want to start with a short excursion to the Glasflügel history.

THE GLASFLÜGEL HISTORY FROM 1964

The company Glasflügel (German: »glass wings«) was founded by Eugen Hänle in 1962 and was located in Schlattstall, south of Kirchheim unter Teck. It was the first firm to manufacture a glass-fibre sailplane in large numbers. It was also responsible for a large number of innovations in sailplane design and technology: quick assembly systems for wings and tailplane, automatic control connections, trailing edge airbrake-flap combinations, hinged instrument panels, the parallelogram control stick and automatic trimming are some innovations introduced by Glasflügel and later adopted by other manufacturers. Some of these are standard features in nearly all gliders produced today. Most of their planes are still flying worldwide. The glider types named Libelle, Hornet, Mosquito, and Kestrel are famous by excellent flight performance and simple maintenance.

Glasflügel encountered financial difficulties in the 1970s which led to a co-operation with the firm Schempp-Hirth starting from May 1975. The death of Eugen Hänle in a flight accident on September 21 of the same year further aggravated the company’s position, and after further changes in ownership in 1979, it was finally dissolved in 1982.

(from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

OUR HISTORY FROM 1989

The company was found by the brothers Dipl.Ing. Ivan Hodan and Dipl.Ing. Jiri Hodan in 1989 under name Modeler’s club H+H. They were joined by Jaroslav Potmesil.

Der „geistige Vater“ des tschechischen Entwicklers und Herstellers von Segelflugzeugen war bereits mit jungen Jahren in der Entwicklungsabteilung für bekannte Flugzeuge wie z.B. DV20, DA20 „Katana“ oder „Dimona“ von DIAMOND in Österreich und Kanada. In jüngster Zeit war er in die Entwicklung der EB29 involviert.

Im Herbst 1979 begann Glasflügel als GFK-erfahrenster Segelflugzeughersteller weltweit unter der Geschäftsführung von Erich Weinzierl mit der Entwicklung eines Mosquito-Nachfolgers, der Glasflügel 304. Sie hatte ihren Erstflug am 10. Mai 1980 in Nabern. Erstmals wurden die Negativformen für den Flügel ganz in Kunststoff hergestellt. Glasflügel erreichte damit eine wesentlich bessere Formtreue und Langzeitstabilität. Mit dem Konkurs von Glasflügel 1982 endete die Produktion der 304 nach 62 Stück.

Mitte der neunziger Jahre wurden ebendiese Formen von der tschechischen Firma HpH übernommen. Die 304 wurde seither als HpH 304 CZ wieder gebaut und im Rahmen der Modellpflege entstand eine weitere Version, die Standardklasse HpH 304C Wasp.

In 1995, the company name and trade mark were changed into HPH Ltd. Today there are two separate companies, HPH models and HPH sailplanes.
