With the beginning of the year 2014 B&F Speyer started with delivery of first two customer aircraft of the light sport “FK131 Jungmann”
The replica project which was created on the drawings of the Bücker 131A version is currently in the type certification process in Germany as light aircraft. It is also produced in kit form for Experimental builders and as LSA aircraft.
Meantime the main part of the flight test program has been completed. The recorded performance data are coming very close to the original design. Also static flutter tests had been completed; they prove the design to be free of flutter up to over 400 km/hr!
Where the original A Jungmann had been powered by an 80hp Hirth HM60 engine, the FK131 uses a 82hp Walter engine which is produced in the Czech Republic. The basic design of this engine is also coming from the 1935, but it has been updated in many details to current technology.
A follow-on series of Jungmann are scheduled to be delivered within 2014. At present the demand is exceeding the production capacities.
