Interesting facts about the Stemme S6
✈ The Stemme S6 is a two seat self launching touring motor glider developed in Germany by Stemme GmbH for private cross country soaring and touring.

✈ The S6 typically seats one pilot and one passenger in a side by side cockpit, making it suitable for instructional flights and long distance touring.
✈ With a wingspan of 18 metres in standard configuration, the S6 balances manageable ground handling with strong soaring capability.
