Plane Development Klemm KL 107 started by German aircraft manufacturers still in 1936 year, with the main goal set before «Klemm» engineers was the need to establish a multi-purpose aircraft, suitable for private use, and for the training of future pilots, including military pilots.

The first flight of an airplane model Klemm KL 107 1940 was made in the year, at the same time, because of the actual beginning of the Second World War, the release of aircraft of this model was very limited - for e-40 years 7 managed to build only aircraft of this model. However, after the end of World War II production aircraft Klemm KL 107 was resumed, and on the results already 50-ies, 54 aircraft was built, however, actually on this issue of aircraft Klemm KL 107 model was completed.

The Klemm KL 107 aircraft has good aerodynamic shapes and is capable of flying at fairly high speeds, which is mainly facilitated by the powerful power plant, represented by the Hirth HM 60R aircraft engine with 82 hp, which is very little. The maximum flight speed of this aircraft is 190 km / h, while the flight range is limited to a short distance of only 670 kilometers, which is far from always practical and effective.

The cabin of the aircraft has enough free space, which makes air travel very comfortable for both the passenger and the pilot. Transportation of goods on board the aircraft is not possible, since first of all there is a rigid restriction on the mass - the payload received on board the aircraft is only 150 kilogram, and in addition, due to the compactness of the cabin, the placement of any cargo here Is impossible. However, the airplane of this model up to 80-ies of the last century was often used as a training aircraft, but later, the aircraft was used exclusively by private owners for its own purposes.
