It was announced at the AERO Friedrichshafen in April 2015 where a mock-up was suspended from the ceiling of the exhibition hall.

The prototype flew on 29 January 2016 at Flugplatz Hahnweide at Kirchheim unter Teck in Germany.

The first version of the Sport fuselage with the front electric sustainer engine, Ventus 3F, first flew December 2017.

The first version with the Performance fuselage, Ventus 3M, also flew in December 2017.

It has been designed to carry more ballast than the Ventus 2 and so its gross weight is 75 kg greater than its predecessor.
