About HpH
HpH Ltd. is a company long established in the aviation industry. Having been involved with initial construction of the Diamond Dimona, Katana, and more recently the mighty EB29, HpH have gained a reputation for exceptional engineering build quality and attention to detail.
In 1997, the HPH company succeeded in gaining the technology and production documentation for the original Glasflügel 304. Production started in 1997 with an updated version of the Glasflügel 304, the HpH 304CZ, which proved very successful both with customers and in competitions. After that, HpH filled a gap in the market producing the HpH304C Wasp, an inexpensive FAI Standard Class version of the 304CZ and both models are highly praised in the gliding community.
HPH have taken all of this knowledge, design & manufacturing know-how to produce a highly competitive sailplane with the »all-new« HpH Shark series. Introducing new dimensions to gliding, and producing a refreshing alternative to the established competition, HPH have already shipped over 70 Shark gliders to customers worldwide, including North America, Canada, Australia and throughout Europe.
Capabilities
Fiberglass High Performance Gliders
Gliders became a new production target in 1998. The HPH company succeeded to gain the complete technology and production documentation for a German glider named Glasflügel 304, a development of Eugen Hänle.
The first glider produced by HPH Ltd. in 1997 under the name Glasflügel 304CZ carried only small arrangements in its construction. No fundamental modernization was needed because of the timeless construction which set the shapes and features of the next development generation.
This was only the beginning of a successful story for HPH as a sailplane producer. Today, we have a whole range of sailplanes designed from scratch by HpH itself. Our gliders find their customers all over the world.
Prototyping for Civil and Military Clients
We realize the development and prototype production for our own needs as well as for customers out of different industry fields. Particular attention is payed on airplanes (gliders, UL category, VLA category, UAV, industry prototyping).
Our CNC 3D fast prototyping is focused on job-order model manufacture, single-part production, lot production and trimming plastics.
We dispose of the latest state-of-the-art technology, e.g. six units of 5-axial CNC machines. The biggest one has a working area of 9m x 3m x 3,5m. Our customers come from every industry sector.
