# Akaflieg München Mü12 Kiwi

The Akaflieg München Mü12 Kiwi is a glider that was designed and built in Germany in 1935.

## Development

The Mü12 Kiwi was conceived in 1935 as a single-seat training glider of simple and rugged construction with a high strutted wing and a plywood covered rhomboid section fuselage. Flight testing revealed a glider with good control response but less than satisfactory approach control. Due to various problems certification of the Mü12 Kiwi was delayed to the end of 1935 and finally abandoned.
