By any measure AIR’s ATOS VX is a stunning work of art. The 46-foot span hang glider or nanolight-trike wing is a truly beautiful construction that shows the artistic and engineering prowess of designer Felix Ruhle and his A-I-R company of Germany. I flew this “rigid wing” glider in Florida before the Sebring U.S. Sport Aviation Expo last October. My first flight was a tandem with Felix and then I soloed this big wing built for two-place “tandem” operations. Look for an article in the 4/05 issue of Kitplanes magazine.
