About the Scheibe Flugzeugbau SF-25C Falke

The Scheibe SF-25C Falke is a German two-seat motor glider that bridges the gap between pure sailplanes and conventional light aircraft. Built by Scheibe Flugzeugbau from the 1960s through the 1990s, the Falke (German for "falcon") was designed as a self-launching glider and primary trainer, allowing pilots to soar when conditions permit or cruise under power when they don't. Its high-aspect-ratio wings and modest 80-horsepower Limbach engine give it genuine soaring capability with a glide ratio around 1:23, while still providing enough thrust for takeoff and climb.

The SF-25C variant introduced a more powerful engine and improved cockpit compared to earlier models, making it popular with gliding clubs across Europe for ab-initio training and cross-country touring. With a maximum takeoff weight of just 1,433 pounds and a stall speed below 40 knots, it operates comfortably from grass strips and short fields. The type's never-exceed speed of 135 knots and structural cruising speed of 108 knots reflect its glider heritage—built light for efficiency rather than speed.

While production ended in the 1990s, the Falke remains a beloved type among European soaring enthusiasts, particularly in Germany and Switzerland where most examples are still registered. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with activity concentrated across routes.
