WoopyFly Inflatable Wing Ultralight Aircraft.

[17 May 2010] [620 views] [No Comment]

The Woopy-Fly, a sort of paraglider/trike/ultralight hybrid shown on the world state at Aero Friedrichshafen this April, 2010, in Germany, has a wing that folds for storage like a paraglider — because it’s inflatable.

Currently, it appears the wing itself is only available from distributors in Switzerland, Russia, and Japan. Those wishing to buy the trike, plus wing, can expect a complete kit cost to run about 13,780 Swiss Francs, which currently is about $12,400, plus the legal disclaimer that releases the manufacturer of liability.
