Axxess
Role Hang glider
National origin Germany
Manufacturer Flight Design
Status Production completed

The Flight Design Axxess is a German high-wing, single-place, rigid-wing hang glider that was designed and produced by Flight Design.[1]

Production is complete and the aircraft is no longer available.

Design and development

The Axxess was intended as a high-performance rigid-wing hang glider, for competition use. Early versions had flaps but these were later deleted as they offered no performance advantage.[1]

The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 13.1 m (43.0 ft) span wing has a nose angle of 165° and the aspect ratio is 12.7:1. The pilot hook-in weight range is 90 to 165 kg (198 to 364 lb). In 2003 the aircraft sold for €7241.[1]
