With this website section we want give you some idea of the technical specifications of the Skyflashs design. If we manage to get the Skyflash airborne, we not only make a big step towards the fullfillment of our dream of total freedom in the skies, but fly the smallest twin engined plane ever build!

To make all that possible without immense cost we build the Skyflash out of aviation plywood. All parts will be precision engineered and lasered using CNC technology. Skyflash I shows the theoretical possibilities when using all GRP construction and realizing several changes, including better and more powerful jet engines.

The engines are build into the so called “WingBody”, which is the backpack of the pilot, accompanied by the airborne computer  and the control electronics. The fuel tanks are wing integrated and connect to the fuel system automaticly when mounting the wings to the Wingbody.

For take-off the pilot puts on the wingbody just like a backpack and fastens his safety harness. Thereafter the wings are connected to the wingbody from the sides using a quick release system.   The pilot is now strapped down to his landing gear which is also stabilizing his body in flight due to its structure. It consists of four 10” offroad tires able to cope with potholed gras runways. 
The pilot is now ready to start his engines using the flight computers 8” graphic interface on his arm an the throttle in his right hand. Heat-proof boots will be able to deflect the thrust thus giving the pilot an extremly agile, thrust vector controlled flight.
