The Remos G3 is an FAA approved, German manufactured Light Sport Aircraft. Made mostly of carbon fibre, including the landing gear, the Remos weighs 626 lb empty, leaving a useful load of 695 lb. The cockpit is reinforced with Kevlar. Structural composite wing parts are covered with Ceconite fabric to reduce weight. The strutted wings fold back in 5 minutes.
The Remos G3 is approved to tow gliders up to 625 lb gross and banners up to 1633 sq.ft.
Ailerons and elevator are mass balanced, and there is some rudder surface forward of the hinge. Aileron differential is about 1.5:1. Electric trim and flaps are fitted. Flaps extend to 40 degrees. The fuel tank is high in the aft fuselage. Shoulder width in the cabin is 45.8 in. Doors, which are hinged on top, may be opened in flight to 66 kt. They can be removed before flight.
First flown in 1997, the Remos was introduced in 1998 and proclaimed Aircraft of the year at the biennial AERO sport aviation show in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in 2000.

Rekkof Restart
Netherlands
Company formed with intention of restarting production of the Fokker 50 and 100, having bought tooling and rented the production factory in 1998.
Reissner Ente / Wellblech Ente
Prof. Dr. Hans Reißner built this canard in the experimental workshop of Junkers that was connected to the “Technische Hochschule Aachen”.
First flying on 23 May, 1912, in second form after having been rebuilt (in the third form, it got four fins under the mainplane).
According to G. Schmitt several versions were built and also flown. The Swiss Robert Gesell presented the machine over a few weeks in Johannisthal at the end of 1912.
