The 2025/26 Bitterwasser season is coming to an end
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the first truck carrying one of our seven containers set off. This marked the end of another impressive gliding season in Bitterwasser.
With the JS5, Jonker Sailplanes sets new standards in the open class. The development focused on a lightweight structure for optimum climbing in weak thermals and exceptional glide performance at high speeds with a wingspan of 24.2 meters.
We are excited to see what record flights will be possible with this glider in the future!
