Archæopteryx


For the first time I saw a "real" Arcæopteryx.
They call it a "class 2 Hang Glider" or "Microglider". With a weight of 45-50kgs it seems a little heavy for me to foot-launch it, but I can envision its potential with a battery powered engine. This would be a nice 'toy' with a 1:30 glide ratio...


A video (in German) can be found here.
