[1] The Atos was originally designed as a competition rigid wing hang glider in 1998, with production commencing the following year.
The wing uses minimal cable bracing and incorporates both flaps and spoilers for roll control.
The largest model, the Atos VX, for example, can be folded into 5.80 x 0.48 x 0.20m (19.0 x 1.57 x 0.66 feet) in 18 minutes and weighs 47.5 kg (105 lb).
[3] Later model Atos are compatible with the Swedish Aerosport Mosquito power pack.
[4] The Atos series have been flown in the rigid wing class in World Hang Gliding Championships since 1999 and have won titles on many occasions.
