Totally incredible. After watching your other video I watched this one and I thought, at least it’s modular so you can easily replace parts. Then you go into the power mode. You can take off on wheels and you can land on wheels. Sweet. Then the added winch tow, aerotow, and bungee launch on a ridge! Now, add in an incredible 49 foot turning radius, and yikes what a machine! But yet there’s more, a ballistic parachute system! Then the near sailplane performance and it’s pretty hard to beat.
This is the WINNER of the sweetest , cutest, highest performing and having all the comedy attached GLIDER OF THE CENTURY. Flintstones, Rubber Bungee Launch, the BEST POSSIBLE Tech, Folding ... keep going on with the features. MY VOTE IS IN! WINNING
I am so envious. I wish they'd had things like this when I was still young. In my day hang gliding was something that had a 50/50 chance of working. But, that was only if everything was perfect!
The most advanced footlauchable sailplane ever conceived! Spectacular design and performance. Engineered with versatility to perfection. This kind of advanced aircraft is not cheap. I bet the trailer adds another $10k to the price tag. But you’d need it for this delicate and airplane. If this could be mass produced, the cost would come way down. But it is such a select group of folks who would be interested… it’s like the Maserati of hang gliders!! Bravo to all involved in its development. I hope it comes with some Swiss chocolates … 😉👍
This is a really nice set up. I have a sailplane license and while it's a lot of fun flying high performance sailplanes, I like the hang glider- like characteristics of this plane. Landing with your feet...the open version of this plane strikes me as the most interesting option. It's all a trade-off I suppose. Flying this plane like a regular glass sailplane would probably just make me wish I was in a higher performance sailplane. But as a hang glider, I don't think it can be beat!
excellent very ingenious glider I really congratulate all those people worldwide who provide an invention for humanity, thanks to this invention I could develop something similar, it is very difficult to do it here in our country venezuela but it is not impossible, if I achieve that goal I will give all the data and specifications by this means so that people have access to the information.
There's a similar aircraft avaible as plans (and made out of spruce and doped fabric, which is easy-ish to work with) called the ULF-1. making a man sized glider in your garage isn't impossible, but making one that flies well is very hard. The internet has lots and lots of information (in every conceivable language to boot) about aerodynamics, so you'd want to read up on it.
@@thedarkwolf3047 That's for the electric version and there are 2 non-powered versions (Archeopteryx standard (which is not enclosed)- €62,000 and Archeopteryx Race (the one that is in most of the videos)- €68,000). Definitely a great aircraft!
@@luisalbertoherreracorbal3130 I guess it would be built from some pretty expensive materials to keep it lightweight and effectively do what the archaeopteryx was designed to do.
its insanely expensive unfortunately. i dont understand why they cost so much. 10x more expensive than a decent hangglider and several times more expensive than a used full size sailplane. very neat craft though just doesnt seem sensible. on top of that because it doesnt breakdown as compactly as a hangglider its really just as much hassle and most other sailplanes.
@@user2C47 'TWR' lmao all you boys fixated on thrust/weight ratio would be better off, learning about optimal design of a power-thrust system, lift/drag ratio and lift at a cruising airspeed to AUW ratio. if you want to Hover, get a helicopter. THIS is a self-launching glider/sailplane. do you KNOW how far a sailplane CAN fly. longer than you can wait to pee. out

Amazing piece of engineering and also an amazing toy, but one/it still needs all the infrastructure, like a trailer/hangar and an easy accessible starting position, which is not needed with a paraglider. When I look at the price tag then, I'm asking myself why not buying a second-hand glider in the first place, with its better speeds and ratio. The next step could be a SUP solution for the wings and fuselage. Inflated, those SUP boards are almost as sturdy as normal bulky surfboards, but fit into a sack. When you are able to presenting an inflatable solution, which fits into a backpack or, to be realistic, at least into a normal boot, I'm coming back.
what a beautiful little plane, if i had a farm with a long enough runway and $70k to burn it would be so fun to get the light open cockpit one but with the electric drive and just zip around the area with it.

What about now
OMG, the way that propeller folds in as it stop to reduce drag when it isn't needed is just brilliant.
A lot of gliders have that
Finally! An airplane you can wear!
1Klooch 😂👏now thts a good adverte
Good thing ...... too did you see the price ?
It's over priced.
You won't be able to buy pants after buying one of these.
Its really awesome

price 1.000 $
Anything that makes a landing at low safe speeds is always very interesting.

What's the price?
You go up. Fly around in circles and land. Fascinating.

Truly wonderful design!
All in one is real innovation... never seen before...three cheers!
Amazing....
Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Fly without noise, perfect.
Que excelente idea; que capacidad para su estructura tan creativa y la versatilidad para despegar es genial
I like themusic ... xD And that looks like it's a lot of fun!
Sou fã de vocês. É um grande sonho eu poder voar um dia. Forte abraço! Marcos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil
wonder when southwest airlines will get these?
I used to hang glide years ago but had nothing like this! I am a power Jockie now but I want one of these!
Made my day... Thanks for the inspiration...
What a fantastic aircraft.
Does ikea sell it too?
Walmart
if i had one i would jump from the third floor of my house and fly to school ...😂
was da jetzt noch fehlt, ist, dass man die Batterien während des Fluges mit Solarzellen laden kann.
Amazing!:) I want one;)
@Pietrek Pietrek well.. 99.000 is the cost of ideas and R&Ds
China will copy it soon
He makes this look almost safe!
I almost want one!
I truly plan to obtain one, Lord willing. 😀
If only Leonardo was around to see this.
Am I dreaming or is it really a prefect glider
Was ein geiles Teil.. Damit könnte ich von hier auf meine Arbeit fliegen...

Not gonna lie, that is AWESOME!!!!
Screaming "yabadabadoo" while taking off with this thing is mandatory.

Absolute genius of a design. More affordable gliding and without a lot of the hassle.

I have to purchase this plane

It’s so cool the changes of crashing are literally 0
I wonder how much the weight of the motor and batteries affects the glide ratio. Pretty nice feature to have, though.
Number of feet for landing
2
Unless you hop really well with one
Good one ....err good two!!! Nice catch on the Pun
@@ericryser5979 That would be a short landing ...rather short of one leg!!!!
Your the only channel i like video's before to Watch them ... You 're AMASING !
I think I'll need this.
Genius engineering. Innovative.
You are amazing . Great work . Well done
I love the airplane but at my weight there'd only be 2 pounds left for a 10 cc model airplane engine including the fuel.
That plane could say in the air all day!
It would be nice to see a version that is powered and actually useful for travelling.
well, there is power, at 1:23.

62,000€ for the open version (standart)
68,000€ for the closed version (race)
82,500€ for the closed with electric engine
Where can I buy it? Internet site adress?
Do you know any restrictions to buy and use it?

Now all we have to do is to attach the pedals of a bicycle on to the prop and plane and done you now have a great glider
Magnifique! Comme tous les trucs suisses!
