KZ-II

This was the first real aircraft of the company, and the company decided to design a common structure that could be equipped in three different configurations. This saved design time, and the company immediately had three products at the outset. The KZ-II airplane was thus produced in three different types:

KZ-II Kupe

The KZ-II Kupe was designed for the businessman who wanted a luxury aircraft. The aircraft is covered, and configured with two seats, arranged side-by-side. The interior is all leather, and when the aircraft was announced, it cost 15,000 DKR – as much as a house!

KZ-II Trainer

The KZ-II Trainer has different wings to the KZ-II Kupe. It also has better instrumentation. The seats are arranged in tandem and the original aircraft had a green-house canopy. It was ordered and used by the Royal Danish Air-Force, but without the greenhouse canopy.

Picture coming soon…

KZ-II Sport

This aircraft was designed to pull higher G’s than either of the above.
