Rimowa, manufacturer of aluminium and polucarbonate luggage, will build several Rimowa F13, based on the famous Junkers F13 of 1919, the world’s first all-metal commercial aircraft.

The first flight and certification should take place in 2016, and it is already possible to place an order for these aircraft. Some safety modifications will distinguish the Rimowa F13 from the original Junkers F13, including changes to the 450 hp Pratt & Whitney 985 engine, braked gear system and improved tail unit.
