Projects

Since the foundation of Akaflieg Munich in July 1924, numerous prototypes with different research contents have been developed. Many of the older prototypes still fly today, others were handed over to museums or were lost. Here you can find an overview over our projects and prototypes from the present day back to the founding period.
