Icaro Mars

The Icaro Mars is an Italian high-wing, single-place, hang glider that was designed and produced by Icaro 2000.

[1] The Mars was built in two sizes for differing pilot weight, with the model numbers reflecting the approximate wing area in square feet.

Both sizes are DHV certified as Class 1-2 and also SHV certified.

The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the single-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth.
