I am researching the application of composite materials in home built or GA aircraft. I am looking for first application cases.
I have gathered information on German gliders which would place the first flight of a glider built of composites in 1958. The Wassmer WA 50 flew in 1966 in France. The first German GA aircraft the LFU 205 flew in 1968.
Please see the attachments for more information.
Do you know of other similar cases or earlier cases?
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I wish you a good weekend
