What was once a dream is now a part-complete flying wing prototype, designed to take flight under human power and deliver a remarkably efficient form of flight. An original idea of Niko Pietrek who drew his inspiration from birds and experiments with zeppelins among others will become reality. Wings can serve to translate both lift and fall of the pilot´s body acceleration into traveling motion.

We will use your support to finish our first full scale competition ready flying wing.
The team has thus far built the first Jinker wing and now requires support to perform the inevitable tests and trimming for safety reasons. We will be conducting several experimental tests and first flights with a pilot throughout the following months.
By purchasing our perks you will be helping us complete the Jinker, and primarily with the following :
Transport to the flying field for testing and flight trials
Pilot training
Composite Carbon Fiber for the cockpit, rudders and tail
If we oversubscribe we will use the additional funds to begin building a second Jinker and to begin our preperations for the world record and Kremer Prize Sports.
