Ellipse Titan

The Ellipse Titan is a French high-wing, single-place, hang glider designed and produced by La société Ellipse of Étuz, introduced in 2002.

Design and development
The Titan was designed as a competition hang glider and is built in two different models and two sizes.

Typical of the series, the Titan Comp 12.5 is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 9.6 m span wing is a "topless" design, lacking a kingpost and upper flying wires. The nose angle is 132° and the aspect ratio is 7.2:1. The model number indicates the approximate wing area in square metres.
