Company Profile

Company Activities

Fk-Lightplanes is active in the field of civil aviation. Our company in Poland is responsible for the sales, marketing & production of the B&F designed FK aircraft range. Final assembly, quality assurance and testing are also carried out in Poland, as well as our certified delivery centres. B&F Technik Vertriebs GmbH concentrates on the design, development, certification as well as all after sales support of the motor-driven lightweight FK aircraft line.

As the production of sport planes is carried out in a relatively small series, and the planes are therefore 100% hand-made, this division of labour is exemplary for the sector.
The manufactured products are delivered in over 23 countries all over the world. The export figures for the past three years show a continuous growth of sales.

Company History

B&F was founded in 1990 by Peter Funk and a student colleague, Dirk Breitkreutz. Headquarter at this time was in Hofheim / Taunus. Both partners were students until 1995, so that in the first three years only small numbers of planes went into production. In 1995 the headquarters were moved to Speyer. Here it was possible to rent rooms in the DASA plant so that the company was located at only a short distance from the airport in Speyer. At first, the Fk 9 plane -developed by Otto und Peter Funk -was produced and sold. In the meantime, this plane has become one of the most popular light aircraft in Europe.
Since 1997, another model, the Fk 12, went into serial production and in 1999, the low wing Fk14 was added.
Since that FK has became one of the most important players in the German and Europeans Light aircraft market. Continuous update and innovative product developments are keeping FK in the top ranking of Europe's light aircraft registration statistics for more than 20 years now.
