Archaeopteryx, the super-lightweight glider

A prototype of the newly developed super-lightweight glider Archaeopteryx is successfully in operation and its design is a symbiosis between common hang-gliders and conventional sailplanes. An excellent flight performance was proven during the testing phase. The foot launched glider does not depend upon airfields and is capable of soaring in weakest updrafts, which hardly could be used up to now. The Archaeopteryx provides a remarkable performance for foot launched glider flights, allowing a new, marvellous and unconventional means of gliding / hang-gliding.
