The Abrial A-13 Buse was a tailless glider prototype that was designed in 1954. It was the last in a series of glider aircraft designed by Georges Abrial.[1] DesignThe glider featured a short fuselage with a single, non-tapered strut-braced straight wing. The design had been demonstrated by very complete tests carried out on a 1:10 scale model at the Eiffel Laboratory but no full-size version was ever constructed.[2] Specifications Abrial A-13 Buse {{Aircraft specs
