The all-metal aircraft construction he developed, the self-supporting, detachable wing, the pressurized cabin and the lightweight design are still standard in aircraft construction today.   <br\/> <br\/>Businessman Dieter Morszeck is another such visionary who makes dreams come true. As a passionate pilot, he has made it his mission to breathe new life into the traditional Junkers company. Inspired by the spirit of Hugo Junkers, he has managed to preserve the company&#8217;s history and at the same time relaunch it &#8211; combined with innovation and the latest technology.    <br\/> <br\/>In 2016, the first Junkers F13 replica took off for its maiden flight. In 2021, the Junkers A50 Junior, the ultralight aircraft, had its maiden flight. And in 2023, the ultimate flying experience continues seamlessly with the Junkers A60.    <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a3222d1b\">\n\r\n\t\t\t<!-- start:image-slider -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-slider image-slider-ef3e3f71 full\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie.jpg\" class=\"image-slide image-slide-1\" data-fslightbox=\"image-slider-ef3e3f71\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1230\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie.jpg 1230w, https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie-1024x708.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/junkersaircraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/historie-768x531.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1230px) 100vw, 1230px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<!-- end:image-slider -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"gb-container gb-container-8be6f3a1 gb-container-base\" id=\"quotes\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bbc1d9df\">\n\r\n\t\t\t<!-- start:testimonials -->\r\n       \r\n                    \r\n            <div class=\"testimonials testimonials-8dd01c53 is-style-center\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\r\n\t\t\t<!-- start:testimonial -->\r\n       \r\n                    \r\n            <div class=\"testimonial testimonial-e1add0ff\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"testimonial-quote\">I want to get young people excited about flying &#8211; in their heads and in their guts.<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"testimonial-source\"><b>Dieter Morszeck<\/b><span class=\"tesimonial-add\"><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n            <!-- end:testimonial -->\r\n        \r\n            \n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n            <!-- end:testimonials -->\r\n        \r\n            \n<\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"gb-container gb-container-34882421 gb-container-brand-dark\" id=\"history\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d82ecc78\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines is-subheadline-top has-text-align-center is-gap-xl\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Company history<\/h2><span class=\"subheadline\" style=\"color:\">a story of freedom<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<!-- start:history -->\r\n       \r\n                    \r\n            <div class=\"history history-93d79504\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\r\n\t\t\t<!-- start:history-slide -->\r\n       \r\n                    \r\n            <div id=\"1895\" class=\"history-slide history-slide-27dc8dc8 no-media\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"history-media\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"history-year\" data-aos=\"fade-down\">1895<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"history-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"history-headline headline\" data-aos=\"fade-up-left\">Foundation of Junkers &amp; CO.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"history-copy\" data-aos=\"fade-up-right\">In 1895, Hugo Junkers founded Junkers &amp; Co. together with Robert Ludwig, a German company for thermal and heating technology in Dessau.
