Air Creation GT

The Air Creation GT and Clipper are a series of French two-seat flying wing ultralight trikes that was designed and produced by Air Creation.

Design and development
The GT series features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a tandem-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double-surface wing covered in Trilam sailcloth. Its 189 sqft area wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. A variety of wings and engines has been fitted to the GT carriage, to form new variants.

When equipped with a cockpit fairing, the aircraft is called the Clipper.

The GT series can be fitted with the later-designed Air Creation NuviX wing.

The GT was replaced in production by the Air Creation Skypper.
