Akaflieg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Akaflieg is an abbreviation for Akademische Fliegergruppe, an academic group of fliers. They exist at several German technical universities and existed at an Austrian university also. Their members are students conducting research projects primarily to do with the development and testing of gliders and light aircraft. Some date back to the earliest days of aviation. (Darmstadt's was founded in 1909.)

They collaborate through an organisation called Interessengemeinschaft Deutscher Akademischer Fliegergruppen, fortunately abbreviated to IDAFLIEG. The Akafliegs have produced several outstanding designers and led to the creation of new glider manufacturers such as Glasflügel and Glaser & Dirks.
