Aeros Target
The
Aeros Target skyfloater is equipped with numerous features that place it as
the number one ideal choice for the low airtime pilot or the experienced pilot
looking for relaxed, enjoyable flying.
In addition it is the only glider to offer true short packability without the need for tools, allowing easy access to new sites at home and abroad. The Aeros Target skyfloater can pack down to an incredible 190cm.
The Target is now considered the best glider for use with power. It is also the glider chosen for the Trans-Channel London to Paris expedition in the Summer of 2000... the first time this trip has ever been made by 3, foot-launched powered hang gliders... All on Target skyfloaters!
Aeros gliders are the choice of the main power unit importers/manufacturers
and are used extensively by Flylight Airsports and Wasp Flight Systems to
promote their power units.
1) It
is specially designed to ease the low airtime pilot through those crucial
first few years
2) For the more advanced pilot the Target skyfloater is an easy to carry lightweight glider, with a superior quality of construction, and pound for pound more fun to fly.
3) Pitch and roll coordination is very similar to our competition gliders. This enables you to progress up the performance ladder with more ease and safety than from conventional intermediates.
4) To achieve this the Target skyfloater shares many features of the competition glider not normally available as standard on conventional intermediates. These include:
- An aerofoiled kingpost hangpoint
- Cranked speedbar
- 2024 aircraft grade aluminium tube. (The ONLY gliders to feature aerospace tubing as used by Boeing and Antonov)
- Lightweight (22kg or 25kg) and fast to rig
- Shortpack to 2metres without tools
