U-Turn GmbH is a German aircraft manufacturer originally based in Villingen-Schwenningen and later in Tuningen. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of paragliders in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft, particularly for aerobatics.[1]
The company was founded by Thomas Vosseler and Ernst Strobl in 2002. One early innovation was offering glider purchase financing through an owners' club.[1]
U-Turn is organized as a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH), a German Limited liability company.[2]
The company's first product was the U-Turn Infinity, an intermediate glider designed for easy handling and safety.[1] By 2016 they had a full line of gliders for all levels of pilots, plus aerobatics, including a two-place aerobatic glider, the U-Turn Twinforce.[2]
