Swift High Performance Sailplane

SWIFT takes off and lands like a hang glider, yet maintains exceptional performance at high speeds, achieving a lift-to-drag ratio of about 25:1. Although it is a fully-cantilevered rigid wing with aerodynamic controls and flaps, it weighs only about 100 lbs and is easily transported on the top of a car. Cost: 20 250 Euros = 29 850 U.S. dollars Manufactured by Aeriane
