As Solar Impulse's specialized partner for film and fabric covering we significantly support this forward-looking project with our technical knowhow, our many years of experience as well as our innovative ideas in the field of general aviation. The aim of the project is to develop an airplane that can fly round the world night and day without any fuel and the associated emissions to prove the enormous potential of renewable energies. A vision which is getting closer to reality, as the first solar night flight in history in 2010 and the first flights within Europe this year have shown. A round-the-world-trip is planned for 2014.

7 October 2011 Special issue Discus Launch Glider (comes out on 4 November 2011)

 A lot of flying fun with minimum resources

 At the end of the 1980s the first so-called HLGs (Hand Launch Gliders) came from the USA to Europe. Since 2002 an innovation has been catching on, again coming from the United States: Some pilots took hold of the glider at the wing tip, turned round like an antique discus thrower and let go on time – the Discus Launch Glider was born.

20 August 2011 Delivery of the Archaeopteryx to the first customer from Germany

In mid-August the company Ruppert Composite welcomed the first German customer to hand over his Archaeopteryx. Under the guidance of the Airsportcenter Mollis, the new pilot of the Archaeopteryx could already make several auto-tows and aero tows which was a good opportunity for him to practice taking off, flying and landing. The plane is developed and built in Switzerland using the most modern methods and a new ultra light construction type made off carbon, aramid and glass fibre. The wings are covered with ORATEX.

The team of DHBW Engineering has successfully been using ORATEX UL 600 for its racing car named Sleek for years.
