The Wezel Apis 2 is a German mid-wing, T-tailed, single-seat motor glider that was designed and produced by Wezel Flugzeugtechnik.[1][2] It first flew in 2002.[1]

Often confused with the very similar Albastar Apis, the two designs are not related.[1]

The rights to the Apis 2 design were sold to Yuneec International of China in 2011 with the intention of selling only an electric version. Wezel announced in June 2012 that the move of production had been delayed indefinitely.[3][4]
