===Jet=== [[File:Jet sailplane.jpg|thumb|left|Bob Carlton's jet-powered glider.]] The first production self-launching motor glider fitted with a [[jet engine]] was the [[Caproni Vizzola Calif]]. The jet engine was mounted inside the fuselage behind the wing, with fixed intake and exhaust ducts coupled to the outside air stream for engine operation. Since then a new generation of jets have been offered for the [[Schempp-Hirth Ventus 2]], [[Jonker JS-1 Revelation]] and the [[HpH 304]], all featuring sustainer jet engines. Other self-launching types include the experimental [[LET L-13 Blaník#Variants|LET L-13TJ Blaník]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pbsvb.cz/dlt_motor_tj100.php?lang=en|title=Turbojet engine TJ 100, PBS Velká Bíteš, a.s.|access-date=4 December 2009}}</ref> a version of the [[Alisport Silent Club]] and a version of the [[TeST TST-14 Bonus]].
