FK-9 Mark 4

This FK 9 Version was designed to meet the requirements for cruising and long-distance flights. High Cruising Speeds and a robust carbon fibre airframe with integrated tubular steel frame crash protection makes this airplane a faster and safer cruiser. Large distances up to 1000 km operation range as well as speeds of over 200 km/h combined with good landing properties. These features have made the FK9 one of the most widely sold light aircraft in Germany and Europe. Space-Saving Hangaring due to the optional feature wing-folding mechanism and the one-man assembly aid.
