are there any in the USA?

@dievhart no, there are no of these gliders in USA. the impact was realized as an privat project by me and seven other enthusiasts. the project started in 2000 and ended in 2004 in this time a limited series of 8 gliders was produced. the glider is extremly good in sinking -0,49m/sec and a L/D of 24,5. the wingspan is 13,85 m and platform is 13 m² weight of glider is 42 kg if you know anyone who is able to produce it in US contact me.

Why would anyone want to name a Hang Glider "Impact"?

[elaeroplano]

the genesis of that name comes from a model aircraft which .

the IMPACT based on the results of that exclent model. it was a tailless wing with a wingspann of 1,8 meters.

so i named that project "IMPACT"

The IMPACT team produced eight similar gliders under my leadership for all team members. about the name we always had discusions. but et least we chose that name.

The Alps are the perfect backdrop for a hang gliding flight! Beautiful!

The IMPACT is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen! Thank you, who made this, for inspiring me

Nice flight. Can you give us some technical details about the glider? What is its theoretical glide ratio, sink speed, dimensions, max. speed.....

[DOGGAMUS]

As a former HG pilot, here is hoping that you never experience the latter definition.

Have fun, be safe, fly high!
