The SWIFT is a high performance foot-launched airplane, designed to combine some of the convenience of hang gliders with the soaring performance of sailplanes.

SWIFT takes off and lands like a hang glider, yet maintains exceptional
performance at high speeds, achieving a lift-to-drag ratio of about 25:1.
Although it is a fully-cantilevered rigid wing with aerodynamic controls and
flaps, it weighs only about 100 lbs and is easily transported on the top of a
car.
