Glidersport LightHawk

The Glidersport LightHawk is an American mid-wing, T-tailed, single-seat, microlift glider under development by Glidersport.

Design and development
The LightHawk is made from composites. Its 15 m span wing employs a large wing area of 12 m2 to produce a low wing loading to allow the aircraft to make use of small and light sources of lift. The construction gives a very low empty weight of just 68 kg.

The aircraft first flew in 2002 and certification was initially forecast for 2011, and then for late 2012, but had not been completed as of December 2015.
