1. Basic concepts
gnuSTAR = Trainer-floater-fun Hang Glider
The gnuSTAR started with the idea of creating a better performing wing than the SPS, and much larger surface area. It retains the option of folding the wings very short (about 2.20 m), for easy transport and storage.
Although still in early stages of study, is considered to gnuSTAR an ideal surface of 24 m2. This surface creates a very slow flying wing, for training and fun with no wind or light wind. It may also be usable for a heavy pilot, maintaining adequate flight speeds.
