Belgrade, Serbia -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2014 -- In the beginning of the 20th century, Henry Ford developed the automotive industry with the inspiration to design cars that any family could afford to own. Today, in the 21st century, STERNA’s vision is not so different than the Henry Ford's philosophy. They want to create an affordable aircraft so that every family in the world can buy one, use it and fly it! Their vision and mission is to make everyone able to fly.
