Kristján Árnason commander and aircraft engineer designed and built this special aircraft-TF-JFP (Jet Flap Propulsion). On the sides of the body are air inlets where two small motors propel two turbines which compress the air into a pressure chamber. From there, the air is led into the wings and the guide plate to the front. Then the air is compressed through the holes on the rear of the wings and over the balancing steer, and the height steer on the front. Two 2-speed engines, 52 horsepower each, were used, which were at a maximum speed of 6500 rpm. TF-JFP patents were granted in 6 countries. There are no engines on the market that are suitable for the project. During runway test, the engine reached 40 knots, but failed to take off. The aircraft was designed and constructed from 1975 to 1996.
