history
AK-5 in the Alps near Timmersdorf
The front fuselage of the middle decker was taken over from the glass wing 604 Kestrel . The wings were built in the shapes of the Falcon . The cockpit has been redesigned and combines research from the years before the AK-5 project. The AK-5 was equipped with a flight computer / variometer system of our own design.
