Английская Википедия:Air Creation GT
The Air Creation GT and Clipper are a series of French two-seat flying wing ultralight trikes that was designed and produced by Air Creation.[1]
Design and development
The GT series features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a tandem-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double-surface wing covered in Trilam sailcloth. Its Шаблон:Convert area wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. A variety of wings and engines has been fitted to the GT carriage, to form new variants.[1]
When equipped with a cockpit fairing, the aircraft is called the Clipper.[2]
The GT series can be fitted with the later-designed Air Creation NuviX wing.[3]
The GT was replaced in production by the Air Creation Skypper.[3]
