Glider and riser prototypes are produced in this workshop. The old workshop of Firebird is spread over 160m2 and equipped with 5 sowing machines and all the necessary equippement for working on Gliders of any brand. Who is behind this exclusive brand? Aircross paragliders are developped by the French designer Hervé Corbon "Gibus" for more than 15 years. His experience and his passion for details guarantee the high quality and the high performance of Aircross gliders. He is certainly one of the best designers in the world of paragliding. In the beginning of 2008 he started working together with Konrad Görg in Germany who takes care of everything what is around the business next to designing: public relation and marketing, bookkeeping and management of production with Gin and testing of gliders. Aircross is not a mass producing brand and reserves itself a certain exclusivity. Currently the gliders are produced by Gin gliders to assure the highest possible quality for our products. Gin posesses many years of experience in the production of paragliders and therefore is well known for his high quality production! Konroo (Konrad Görg): General Manager, Test and Competition Pilot Gibus (Hervé Corbon): Designer, Test and Competition Pilot Tobi (Tobias May): Workshop and Marketing Assistant Manager, Competition Pilot Martina (Martina Koschwitz): Seamstress
Agricultural Economist by profession he is also the manager of a cash crop farm in northern Germany. His passion for flying got him into the professional paragliding business. Before joining Gibus to work on Aircross he founded the company Kontest (www.kontest.eu) which is making revisions, maintenance and repair works on paragliders in Northern Germany.
The genius and the basis for the Aircross brand. Since the beginning of the 90ies Gibus is in paraglider construction. As a carpenter by profession his attitude is: Everything is possible!
As the former German Junior Champion in Paragliding and a few years of German league flying we are very happy to have Tobi in our team. He can help in a competent way and knows about the important details in paragliding.
Martina is working on prototypes, revisions and repairs.
