We would be glad to answer all your questions.

The "Biman" ultra light aircraft (motor hang glider) have been crerated for the next porposes:
    - training,
    - sports,
    - entertainment,
    - tourism as well as air observation,
    - patrolling,
    - landing of goods and people,
    - aerial photography.
"Biman" has classic design, but it can boast of many original solutions that demonstrated their value in practice. Some of them are as follows:
    - full fairing. As a matter of fact, "Biman" possesses... a real car-like salonwith windscreen and separate seats for pilot and passenger. It provides additional comfort during flight; - noise and vibration of engine mount are reduced to minimum values; - titan leaf-springs of main wheels and spring suspension of front wheel provide effective shock-absorbtionfor aircraft's landing gear; - aircraft's flight-control and navigation equipment makes possible to perform all types of flights; - only professionals can fully appreciate convinience of the wing mounting and dismounting: when the wing is lifted, vertical pylon automaticly locks into position; nothing else is left but to fix it; - fuel tank of increased capacity (48 l) enables 4-hours-long flight with full load; - aircraft's engine has electric starter.
Modern technologies, used in "Biman" design, provide its high quality and reliability. "Biman" have successfully passed all static tests with NPO "Raduga".

Wings
    Performance of a weight-shift-control ULA is determined by the performance of its wing. For three years we have tediously tested different wing for compatibility with "Biman". Those tests showed that "Biman" flies with any type of wings. For example, certificate of airworthiness, issued by LTC "ELIC SLA" in 1999, specifies two wings: "X-I4" and "Spark".
“Spark”
Firm “Aviaproekt” produces this wing since 1994. By now they produced more than 150 wings.
In 1996 “Biman” aircraft with this wing received State Certificate of Airworthiness from the Department of Air Transport of Kingdom of Nepal. It took more than 1000 flights.
“Spark” wing is made of modern materials of the high quality that provide its high reliability and long service life.
It has good lift effectiveness and wide range of speeds (from Vmin=50 km/h to Vmax=130 km/h).
The wing is intended for lower-than-average pilot’s skill.
It is stable and comfortable in operation. It achieved high results in many contests.
"Stream"
Firm “Aeros”, which produces this wing, is one of the biggest wing producers. By now they produced more than 300 wings.
This wing was certified in Germany. It is exported to several European countries.
“Stream” wing is of a very high quality. Only modern materials and tested solutions are used.
“Biman” aircraft with this wing is intended for business, training, leisure flights and aerial photography.
This wing has average performance for its class, but it is very comfortable in different flight conditions.
"X-14"
Firm “Krasnye krylia” produces this wing since 1994. By now they produced more than 200 wings. Wings are exported to several European countries.
This wing has classic design of IV generation wing. Only modern materials and tested solutions are used.
X-14 wing has high manoeuvrability and speed qualities (Vmax=135 êì/÷).
It is comfortable in operation and adjustment.
This wing proved itself to be a good sport wing in many contests. Its performance is similar with “Spark” wing.
The wing is intended for average pilot’s skill.
