            <[string8][Text][The Schneider Grunau Baby was a single-seat sailplane first built in Germany in 1931, with some 6,000 examples constructed in some 20 countries. It was relatively easy to build from plans, it flew well, and the aircraft was strong enough to handle mild aerobatics and the occasional hard landing. When the Baby first appeared, it was accepted wisdom that the pilot should feel as much unimpeded airflow as possible, to better sense rising and falling currents of air and temperature changes etc.]>

            <[string8][Text][Konstruiert wurde das Grunau Baby im Winter 1930/31 von Edmund Schneider an der Segelflugschule Grunau. Edmund Schneider hatte das Baby als Übungsflugzeug mit guten Flugeigenschaften entworfen, während die Gleitleistung nicht mit jener der reinen Leistungssegler mithalten konnte. Ein zentrales Konstruktionsziel war angesichts der meist prekären finanziellen Situation der Segelflugvereine von Beginn an auch die Möglichkeit des Lizenzbaus; Schneider achtete bei der Konstruktion darauf, dass das Flugzeug von durchschnittlichen Segelflugvereinen mit beschränkten Mitteln nach Plänen nachgebaut werden konnte. Diese Möglichkeit wurde weltweit vielfach genutzt. So ist es heute nicht mehr feststellbar, wie viele Babys in allen Varianten tatsächlich gebaut worden sind. Wolf Hirth nennt eine Zahl zwischen 10.000 und 15.000, realistischer dürfte eine Zahl um die 6.000–7.000 sein.]>
