What makes this design different or better?
Through the design and the position of the pilot, the glider creates an experience similar to the flight of birds.

In the construction there is no need of a tail unit. The glider gets into an instable flight position. For that reason the glider gets highest agility and minimal curve radius for maximum speed.

The pilot is lying face down in a (high technical synthetic material) seat that can be easily individual adapted to his body. So the pilot is compactly connected to the airplane (glider), that each of his motions are directly transmitted to the plane.
