What happened
The aircraft departed from Berlin for a long-term test mission. At the time of departure, the airplane was carrying three crew members and one passenger. During the flight, the machine went out of control while en route. The loss of control led to a crash in a field, where the airframe burst into flames immediately upon impact. All four individuals on board were killed in the accident.
The operation was part of a pre-delivery test sequence intended for a client in China, located in Eurasia. The crew members involved in this specific mission included Hans Wende, Mr. Eichenfoss, and Mr. Schmidt, alongside the single passenger.
