The Aeros Combat is a family of Ukrainian high-wing, single-place, hang gliders, designed and produced by Aeros of Kyiv and introduced in 2000.[1][2]
Design and development
The Combat series was conceived as a single-place competition hang glider and as such has gone through successive updates to keep it competitive.[1][2]
Typical of the line, the Combat 2 13 model is made from aluminium tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing is cable braced, but without a kingpost and upper rigging. The nose angle is 131° and the aspect ratio is 7.95:1.[1]
The wing is also used on the Aeros ANT nanotrike, as well as the Flylight Libelle and Flylight Motorfloater, British ultralight trikes, in its Combat T configuration.[3][4]
Operational history
In 2005 Oleg Bodnarchuk was the Hang Gliding World Champion, flying a Combat L.[1][2]
