The Akaflieg Karlsruhe\u2019s project AK-X <\/a>which is supported by DG Flugzeugbau and DG Composites<\/a> was now first introduced to a broad audience at the Aero 2017 in Friedrichshafen. Visitors were invited to marvel at the fuselage\u2019s mockup and the unique glider\u2019s failure-test wing on display. Last year DG had milled all full-size molds needed to fabricate the \u201cfuselage\u201d and the wings. In addition to that we took care of most of the built-in parts. Following the Akaflieg Braunschweig\u2019s SB13<\/a>, which had been designed in the late 1980s, the AK-X is the next significant essay to calculate and construct a flying wing sailplane. We are proud to be sponsoring this ambitious project and curious about the course of a new venture.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
