Histoire résuméeDessiné par Ulrich Hütter, encore étudiant à la Technische Hochschule, Wien. Le prototype, A-Margit, fut testé en vol à Salzburg en septembre 1934.
ou Güppingen 5
The H 17 was designed by the Hutter brothers in Salzburg, Austria. The 17 indicated the glide ratio. They sold plan sets until they joined Schempp-Hirth, which then built about five as the Goppingen 5 with the addition of a windshield and main wheel. Many were built from plans worldwide and several are still flying. A post-war version was developed and marketed as the H 17 B with enclosed cockpit, lengthened fuselage and airbrakes. The H 17B has slightly increased span and empty and loaded weights increased about 50%. One H 17 belongs to the National Soaring Museum. The Vintage Sailplane Association has plans.
The Hütter 17 was the first sailplane designed by Wolfgang and Ulrich Hütter in 1934. As college students, the goal was to build a small and manueverable sailplane to be flown in the Alps near Salzburg, Austria, where they were going to school at the time.
The design goal was for a 17:1 glide ratio (hence the design’s name) and the overall design is similar to other sailplanes of that era such as the Grunau Baby, Schempp-Hirth Wolf and a number of others and used a high, strut braced wing pylon mounted onto a hexagonal box cross section fuselage.
The airfoil was the commonly used Göttingen 535, a fairly thick (16%), high cambered (5.75%) airfoil, which was also used on the Grunau Baby and Wolf.
Performance was found to be quite good and the brothers went onto sell plans with many Hü 17s being built throughout Europe.Not long afterwards,the Hütter brothers went to Germany and worked for Schempp-Hirth, having a part in the design of the Göppingen 5(a further development of the Hü 17 witha main wheel and windscreen) of which five were built, the Minimoa, Govier, the Hü 28 and later Hü 30, both continuingwith the small, light and manueverable design criteria.
After World War II, the update Hütter 17b was developed and plans sold. This version had an enclosed cockpit and
slightly greater wingspan/area.

Scott Light Aircraft Ltd., Dunstable, Angleterre, a construit des Hütter H-17 sous licence, à partir de 1937.
