Hi,
Mr. Hušek, a Czech industrial designer who emigrated from Czechoslovakia in the late 1960s, was involved in the design of the Grob D(G)-500 and Strato 2 aircraft. He was primarily an automotive designer, but also worked for the Grob company for several years.

I assume the website you mentioned is cardesignclub.7x.cz?
It is still available through the Internet Archive here, but unfortunately only low quality thumbnails of the images have been archived.
Do you possibly have any higher quality versions of the other pictures on this site? I am especially interested in some of the other work Hušek did for Grob.
The attached thumbnails are from Seminars 70 and 86

Hi,
i only have screenshots from the original pages, but even those don't have optimal resolution. Although it doesn't belong in this thread, here is a post by Mr. Pavel Hušek on the final design of the Grob GF-200 aircraft.

PS: Mr. Hušek's work for Grob was extensive, so I will probably start a separate thread on this topic.

Hi,
after his involuntary departure from Audi in 1978, Mr. Hušek founded his own design studio in Ingolstadt. Claus Luthe (a renowned automotive designer) recommended him to Grob. This marked the beginning of his long-standing collaboration with the company. Mr. Hušek's first work for the company was the Grob G-104 model.

Did he work on the G-109? Of the planes I've had the opportunity to fly, the G-109 is still my favorite. Grob makes great airplanes.
 
Hi,
Grob G-109

The text accompanying the images states that Mr. Grob himself came up with the English names for the aircraft and that in the early 1980s he considered establishing a branch of his company in Ireland because of the tax breaks that the government at the time offered to foreign companies.

Hi,
Omega-Jet. Mr. Hušek writes the following about this study: „During my time at Grob, I had the opportunity to design and draw military aircraft. I was fascinated by the shapes of jet aircraft, especially futuristic military fighter jets. My response to the EUROFIGHTER program was my OMEGA-JET project. The German designation for the Eurofighter project at that time was TFK-90, which is why I used that designation in my drawings.
And where did my name, OMEGA-JET, come from? Alpha-Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The end of all life in World War III.
At that time, I was in contact with several experts, not only from Grob but also from MBB. They provided me with a great deal of expert advice and insights into aircraft design."

Judging by the markings, they were not only aiming at the Luftwaffe and the Bundesmarine's Marinefliegerdivision with that study, but also France's Armée de l'air.
 
Hi,
after 1989, Mr. Hušek returned from exile in Germany to the Czech Republic. In the mid-1990s, a broad public debate erupted over what type of fighter jets should replace the Soviet-made aircraft. Mr. Hušek proposed manufacturing F-16 fighter jets under license, incorporating several design modifications.
PS: I know this post isn't related to aircraft designs for Grob, but I didn't want to start a new thread just for that.

My dear Hesham, if you're referring to the aircraft studies mentioned in post #18 in this thread, I'm not sure. Mr. Hušek doesn't provide any description of them on his website.
