Design and development

The Still wing is a cable-braced, king post-equipped hang glider-style wing designed as a docile beginner and flight training wing for two-place trikes. It comes in one size, the Still-17, named for its metric wing area of 17.4m2.^[2]

The wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The wing's crosstube is exposed and is of a floating design. Its 10.31NaN1 span wing has a nose angle of 122°, an aspect ratio of 6.1:1 and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.^[3]
