The Schweizer SGS 1-21 is a United States single-seat, mid-wing, Open Class glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York.
The 1-21 was a clean-sheet design intended to fill the role of high performance competition sailplane. It was designed by Ernest Schweizer and first announced in the September–October 1946 issue of the Soaring Society of America's Soaring magazine.
Following World War II soaring in the United States was dominated by surplus two-place gliders that had been used as trainers by the military, such as the TG-1, TG-2 and TG-3.
By the end of the war there were only about 400 gliders in the US. Of these only about a dozen were high performance competition sailplanes and half of these were pre-war designs. Schweizer Aircraft realized that if the US was to progress in the sport of soaring, that domestic mass-produced, high performance sailplanes would be needed.
The 1-21 was designed to be the high performance sailplane of choice in the post war era. While design had been completed in the summer of 1946, Schweizer had not built a prototype, hoping to get sufficient orders to make it worthwhile.

No soy bueno en usar las palabras
necesito enkontrar la adekuada.
Cosas no creo, pura indesición,
era no llegar a una relación.
Ahora no...es mejor adios.
una razón...una razon..
una razon...una razon..no es sufuciente
Aunke el tiempo me traicione por rekordarte
y descubro ke el silencio es tu mejor aliado.
acompañame a una relacion,
ke apenas esta tan lejos.
una razon...una razon...
una razon...una razon...no es suficiente...
