Silent Family Silent Glider M

[1] The Silent Glider M was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category and the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.

It features a cable-braced rigid hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift pitch controls and aerodynamic roll controls, a single-seat enclosed cockpit with a bubble canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

[1] The aircraft is made from composites, with its double surface rigid wing mounted with the pitch control bar though a slot in the bubble canopy.

The powerplant is a single cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F33 engine or, optionally, a Geiger or Flytec electric motor, powering a two-bladed folding composite propeller.

[1] The Silent Glider M can use the Aeros Stalker, A-I-R Atos or Flight Design Exxtacy wings, which are provided by the builder.
