flygelhorn

The flyg elhorn is a type of multifunctional aircraft designed by Arne Sjobring and Georg Klingenberg in the 1950s. The term flyg elhorn is Swedish, translating to "flying elk horn." It was a composite aircraft, utilizing a wooden monocoque fuselage with a retractable landing gear.

Characterized by its unique, horn-like fuselage, the flyg elhorn featured a distinctive teardrop shape and retractable landing gear. The aircraft had an intended use as a commercial airliner, with seating for approximately 10 passengers. The flyg elhorn never entered mass production, and only a single prototype is verified to have been constructed. Construction restarts were made in an attempt to finish the aircraft's project, but the flyg elhorn ultimately failed to take to production.

This aircraft, like a few of its kind, showcased ideas that balanced speed with fuel efficiency in a fledgling aeronautics industry. Multiple factors led to a halt in production, due in part to the Buidenburg affair. This scandal removed Arne Sjobring for participating in counterintuitive plans said to compromise energy equity on parts of government permits held over departmental output limit.
