Switzerland to Greece with a Stemme !

Alps, Dolomites, Croatia and finally Greece... a great example of what travelling and soaring with the S12 can look like.

Thanks to our customer for sharing the first part of his trip.

Spectacular wave conditions near the Great St. Bernard Pass in the Alps!

Beautiful lenticular clouds, made accessible thanks to the Stemme’s motor-glider versatility.

Thanks Soaring-Adventures.eu for sharing these amazing shots!

A special delivery back to Belgium 🇧🇪 .

We recently handed over this fully refurbished Stemme S6 to its new Belgian owner, with a great welcome and water salute on arrival at Antwerp Airport – EBAW.

Beyond its qualities as a high-performance touring motor glider, the S6 also represents an important part of Stemme’s engineering heritage.

Its architecture later served as the basis for the ASP15 special-mission platform, today operated primarily for observation and surveillance missions, with different combinations of pods, sensors and mission systems.

One airframe philosophy, very different missions, a good example of the versatility and efficiency that have always been part of Stemme’s DNA.

Wishing the new owner many great flights with his S6.

A nice feature in the September issue of Soaring Magazine:

“Stunning Stemme Safari.”

Two Stemmes, from Nevada to Alaska and back: 9,200 km, 100 flight hours over 22 days, motoring only 25% of the time and soaring 75%.

Beyond the numbers, it is also about the freedom a Stemme offers: travelling independently across vast distances, exploring exceptional landscapes, and combining real touring capability with the pure pleasure of soaring.

Definitely worth a read in the September 2026 issue of Soaring Magazine, available online through the Soaring Society of America. The online magazine library includes the latest 2026 issues, available to SSA members.

Sharing the passion for soaring with the next generation

At Boston.com University, the Gliding and Soaring Club (BUGS) is giving students a unique opportunity to discover aviation and experience soaring first-hand aboard a Stemme S6.

With the support of Kenn Sebesta, Boston University lecturer, flight instructor and Stemme S6 owner, students have the opportunity not only to experience soaring, but also to connect what they learn in engineering and aerodynamics with real flying.

Some are now working towards their pilot licences, while others are discovering aviation from an engineering perspective – designing and building their own gliders.

A great example of how passion, education and aviation can come together – with a Stemme S6 helping to make it possible.

Congratulations to Kenn and all the students involved!

Learning to fly begins the same way for everyone: a glider, a winch launch and an instructor.
We were delighted to welcome members of the Saudi Aviation Club to Aérodrome de Namur - EBNM for several days of flying, learning and exchanging ideas.
From the ASK 13 to the Stemme S12, and from local soaring flights to a cross-country journey to Le Touquet, each flight revealed a new dimension of soaring.

Beyond the flying itself, this visit was another opportunity to continue the dialogue that began several months ago. We exchanged ideas, shared experiences and reflected on how gliding can inspire future generations of pilots while opening new perspectives for aviation, education and adventure in Saudi Arabia.

As Saudi Arabia continues to develop general aviation as part of Vision 2030, we look forward to continuing this dialogue and exploring how these first experiences could one day inspire soaring adventures above the spectacular mountains and desert landscapes surrounding Madinah.

6,000 km. Three weeks. Two Stemme motorgliders.

From their base in Minden, Nevada, Markus Lewandowski and Klaus Ohlmann flew where few gliders have ever been, through British Columbia, deep into the glaciers of Alaska , powered not by fuel, but by the invisible energy of the atmosphere itself.

And back to Minden.

A historic expedition. Uniquely possible on a Stemme.

Congratulations to the entire Mountain Wave Project team. 🏔️
