Aerodyne Yogi Explained

The Aerodyne Yogi is a series of French single-place, paragliders that was designed by Michel Le Blanc and produced by Aerodyne Technologies of Talloires.[1]

Design and development

The Yogi was designed as a beginner glider for school, with the four models each named for their relative size. Compared to other beginner gliders it was designed to exhibit better progressive launch behaviour and require less physical launch effort. It rolls more easily upon brake applications and has better stability, all desirable traits for a training glider.[1] [2]
