BF139 CLUBMAN

Developed once again with Peter Funk, this project is a tribute to vintage aviation in its purest form.

Aircraft that still smell of cut grass, fuel, and warm summer air. Aircraft flown slowly enough to enjoy the sky rather than conquer it.

These are machines for pilots who value time aloft over top speed, who do not mind arriving later if it means staying among the clouds a little longer.

Aircraft meant for grass strips, silk scarves in the wind, tube-and-fabric fuselages, and a picnic basket waiting at the destination.

Starting from the FK-9 airframe, the aircraft was radically reworked through a series of deliberate and intelligent structural modifications.

The goal was to transform a modern ultralight into something that feels as if it belongs to another era. Like a themed masquerade, the underlying structure was asked to wear a very specific costume and to wear it convincingly.

The aircraft was conceived as a spiritual heir to Bücker Flugzeugbau, the legendary manufacturer known for elegant proportions and distinctive design features, including forward-projecting landing gear legs.

These cues were carefully reinterpreted and integrated into the new design.

Custom details complete the project: newly designed control sticks, an instrument panel combining wood and aluminum, and bespoke naming, logo, and livery design.

Every element contributes to a coherent and authentic identity.

The result is a highly distinctive ultralight.

Not built for records, but for memories.
An aircraft designed to slow time down and remind its pilot why flying was once, and still is, a pleasure.
