Aeros Combat


The Aeros Combat is a family of Ukrainian high-wing, single-place, hang gliders, designed and produced by Aeros of Kiev and introduced in 2000.

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.
Typical of the line, the Combat 2 13 model is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 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.
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.

Operational history

In 2005 Oleg Bodnarchuk was the Hang Gliding World Champion, flying a Combat L.
