The Glidersport LightHawk is an American mid-wing, T-tailed, single-seat, microlift glider under development by Glidersport.
Its 15 m (49.2 ft) span wing employs a large wing area of 12 m2 (130 sq ft) to produce a low wing loading to allow the aircraft to make use of small and light sources of lift.
The construction gives a very low empty weight of just 68 kg (150 lb).
[1] The aircraft first flew in 2002 and certification was initially forecast for 2011,[1] and then for late 2012, but had not been completed as of December 2015.
