The Helite Tsunami (Шаблон:Lang-en) is a French high-wing, single-place, rigid-wing hang glider that was designed by Gérard Thevenot and produced by La Mouette under the Helite brand.[1]
Design and development
The Tsunami was developed from the La Mouette Top Secret as a rigid wing competition hang glider. Thevenot decided to market it under his Helite brand which was also used for a line of powered parachutes. Available c. 2003, the aircraft is now out of production and the brand is no longer used.[1]
The aircraft is made from tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its Шаблон:Convert area wing is a "topless" design with no kingpost. The nose angle is 145°.[1]
Operational history
The Tsunami won a number of hang gliding championships in the rigid wing class.[1]
