The Frankfurter Flugtechnischer Verein or Frankfurt Flight Technology Association was founded in Frankfurt am Main on 27 May 1909. It joined the DLV on 1 Sept. 1909. The emphasis appears to have been on heavier-than-air craft.
Elections appear to have been held on 27 May 1909. Paul Schubbert was named chairman and Hans Krastel was named vice-chairmen. In 1910, there were 91 members and the association owned one glider aircraft. It used the Griesheim parade ground near Darmstadt as its airfield. Its official journal was Flugsport.
