Development
With production of the SGS 2-8 and SGS 2-12 military training gliders complete in 1944, Schweizer Aircraft did studies of a series of utility and sailplane designs, trying to determine what would best suit the post-war market. Design studies conducted in this period included:
- Single-place SGU 1-16 utility glider
- Single-place SGS 1-17 sailplane
- Two-place SGS 2-18 sailplane
None of these designs proceeded to the stage of constructing a prototype.
Schweizer Aircraft decided to concentrate on two designs, both based on the utility glider layout of the Schweizer SGU 1-7. The single place version was the 1-19 and the two place was designated as the SGU 2-22, both designed by Ernest Schweizer.
