Discus T

The Discus T wing is designed especially for nanolight trikes, using a Discus hang glider as a base. The Discus T comes in two sizes: Discus 14T and Discus 15T.  

There are several points differ the Discus T from conventional Discus, the main are: reinforced frame, control bar shifted backwards, trike attachment bracket.

Handling the Discus T in the air is as easy as a normal hangglider. With Discus T you have the freedom to carry your own launch mechanism in the back of your car, to take off almost anywhere, to thermal and fly in comfort and silence when you want and to explore new locations beyond the reach of the tow or mountain launch pilot. Or, if you wish, use the engine to tour or to just get in the air. As an example, the Dragonfly trike with Discus 15T wing with a cruising speed burn as little as 2.5 litres per hour of fuel, offers incredible fun for minimal cost – you can fly it under power for over 3 hours and use less fuel than a drive to the tow park and a single tow with a tug.
