Performance hang-glider VR

crosssingle place

The ATOS-VR has been designed as a competition glider for high cross-country performance and as well for an exceptional flight comfort. The adjustable V-tail, with angle of attack coordinated with the flap setting, gives the VR a great, well defined speedbar pressure over the whole range of speed. Its particular calmness in thermal conditions allows fatigue-free flying. The ATOS-VR has reinforced carbon composite spars, adding a sizable amount of stiffness to the wing and offering a comfortable flying in turbulent conditions or on fast finals. The certified hook-in weight is 140kg, enabling the use of a mosquito motor harness for the heavier pilots as well. On request it is available with the full carbon keel. The ATOS-VR is offered in two versions: - Standard version with our long time approved Stormlite-sail - Race version with our Technora sail The Technora sail offers increased stiffness, resulting in higher sail tension, leading to a better defined aerofoil and less deformation at higher speeds. The VR with the Technora sail has a unique look. Required Pilot Level The ATOS VR has easy handling and due to the effective flaps good take-off and landing and stall characteristics. When set to maximum angle, these flaps make steep approaches and landings on the smallest field possible. At 15° they give the VR the extra lift for best climbing in narrow thermals.
