Skandinavisk Aero Industri Compagni

The aircraft company in Denmark which has produced most aircraft (186) is “Skandinavisk Aero Industri-SAI” Also known as Kramme & Zeuthen after its two managers. Already in 1935 aircraft mechanic in the Navy V. Kramme had opened a private repair shop for civil aircraft at Kastrup near Copenhagen Airport. Here he got the task of building a “Pou de Ciel” for a Danish Newspaper and while doing this a young engineer K.G. Zeuthen challenged him to build a “real” aircraft whereby he asked back “why don’t you design one?” Soon the first KZ aircraft, KZ I, was put together at “Burmeister & Wain”, where Zeuthen was working, making its first flight on 24.February 1937 powered by a British ABC 38HP Scorpion engine. The Danish business man, and Director of the F.L.Smidth Cement conglomerate, Gunnar Larsen who was keenly interested in aviation (and later opened Aalborg Airport) had sponsored the engine and now arranged for the opening of the new company on 1. August 1937. Kramme became leader of production and Zeuthen of design. Zeuthen had already started the design of the next aircraft the KZ II Kupé (with an enclosed cockpit for two) which

could make its first flight already on December 11th the same year. The first design the KZ I had been an all wood construction, but the KZ II was made with a fuselage of welded steel tube, a construction which was to become the standard for all KZ aircraft. Equipped with either a 90HP Cirrus Minor or Gipsy Minor engine 14 of the model were built. On 10.10.1938 the prototype KZ II Sport flew which instead of side-by-side accommodation had two seats in tandem. Twelve of these were delivered with a 105HP Hirth 504A engine.

The rented workshop at Kastrup soon became too small for the successful company and in the spring 1939 Gunnar Larsen’s company made a disused building at the Cement factory at Aalborg available. Aircraft test flying was performed from the new Aalborg Airport. Soon after the 2nd World War broke out, but construction continued among other of an order for both the navy and army of each 4 KZ II Sport modified for military flying and called KZ IIM (Marine). The German occupation sat a stop for further construction. The four aircraft for the Navy were completed but went straight into storage without being test flown. The German authorities insisted on the factory turn to producing parts for the German aircraft industry which was only agreed upon in order to get raw material for a civilian production of windmill blades, electrical automobiles and movie projectors. Meanwhile the factory prepared itself for business after the war and started in 1942 on the design of KZ III a two-seat touring aircraft aimed at being easy to fly.At this time the director of the in 1939 started Danish Ambulance flying Service “Zonen” approached the company and requested if they could design an aircraft to replace their British Monospar short take-off and landing aircraft. The new aircraft designated KZ IV was build with two DH Gipsy Major engines and could accommodate 2 pilots, 2 stretchers and one attendant. Despite its weak engine output the aircraft had an amazing short field performance being able to land on every populated Danish island. The aircraft was first flown in May 1944 and was delivered shortly after to Zonen which took delivery of a second in 1948. As the German authorities had agreed to the building of an ambulance aircraft the SAI company now exploited this by offering the KZ III as an ambulance aircraft, the fact that the aircraft was too small to take a stretcher nobody apparently noticed. In 1943 the company moved from Aalborg to facilities at Hellerup just north of Copenhagen as the airport had been taken over by Luftwaffe as a major base. The prototype KZ III OY-DOZ flew first on 11.9.44. Meanwhile SAI had arranged for a dealer in Sweden and in November 1944 a second KZ III was allowed to be exported there being sent by ferry unflown. May 5th 1945 saw the end of German occupation and SAI was in a very favorable position and could start an immediate series production of the KZ III of which 62 were produced at a new factory opened at Sluseholmen for component manufacture and Hangar 142 in Kastrup airport for final assembly in the southern part of Copenhagen.

Two KZ III were delivered to the Danish military and many were exported to Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Belgium and as far as India and Malaya. In 1946 the production of the KZ II was re-opened with 15 of the KZ IIT being delivered to the new Danish Air Force as their first trainer and a line of 8 KZ II Kupé which unfortunately were destroyed in a 1947 factory fire. The next type became KZ VII after the two early designs, the KZ V a twin-engined passenger aircraft and the KZ VI a twin-engined 4 –seater taxi aircraft had been abandoned. The KZ VII was a 4-seater version of the KZ III powered by first a 125HP Continental engine and later by a 145HP version. It flew first as a prototype on 16.11.1946 and production was in full swing when the factory experienced a catastrophically fire on 17.2.1947. The fire destroyed 22 almost made KZ VII, 8 KZ IIK and a KZ IV as well as the company’s design office and archive.

The Company faced a difficult future, but with amazing speed the no. 144 former Luftwaffe hangar next to their own hangar now owned by the Navy at Copenhagen airport which had been used for testing the aircraft was made into a production facility. Late in the summer of 1947 delivery could commence and soon the production was 2-3 aircraft a week. At this time an even worse disaster hit the company. In order to get permission for import of essential engines and flight instruments a re-export of 80% had to be proven and that was difficult in the war aftermath. In addition the after war euphoria for flying ebbed out and added to the economical problems the export countries were experiencing. The final straw was that the main owner of the SAI, the F.L. Smidth Company decided to opt out and concentrate on the production of machinery for cement manufacturing. At the end of 1947 SAI had to cease production and most of the work force was laid of. Kramme and Zeuthen, however refused to give up and with the help of another business man M. Harttung they took over the company which now continued on a reduced scale with the main concentration on maintenance among other service on the Danish military Harvards and Oxfords. Now the Danish military came in and ordered 10 KZ VII which were delivered in the summer of 1948. Until 1954 when production of the KZ VII stopped a further 14 aircraft were made, mostly for export. Of new designs the KZ VIII was a special aerobatic demonstration aircraft ordered by Sylvest Jensen and first flown 14.11.1949. Designed by the later renowned Björn Andreasson it was constructed of wood. Two of these aircraft were made. The KZ IX was made in 1949 as a replica of the Ellehammer aircraft, but originally it was a project for a military trainer which found no interest with the Danish military as they had more Harvard trainers than they could use. The KZ X became the last KZ design put into production. It was a two-seat AOP version of the KZ VII powered by a 145HP Continental engine flown first 29.9.51. During 1952 twelve were delivered to the Danish Air Force. Unfortunately the type experienced several (4) structural break ups in the air. It was forwarded for tests at Farnborough and although no faults could be found even when the aircraft crashed during the tests, it was

withdrawn from service in February 1955 and finally broken up in 1959. The engines were used to re-power the Air Force KZ VIIs, which later in their career, when the Army’s Piper Super Cubs were destroyed in a hangar fire, actually took over the AOP duties planned for the KZ X. The final design which, however, was not build was the KZ XI an agricultural aircraft of 1952. After this the factory turned towards the manufacture of various metal parts like steel cabinets and shelves and in 1963 they moved from the hangar in Copenhagen Airport. At the same time the rights to the designs, tools and spare parts were sold to Scanaviation. Thus after having built 186 aircraft of own design aircraft construction, apart from hobby design and building came to a halt in Denmark.
