This enables even thermal-flights in applicable conditions. By it´s reliable take-off behaviour and it´s small packing-size and low weight it is also for alpinists, who have advanced pilot-skills, a good opportunity to come down from the summit fast. The name "Draco" and the design of the wing are a tribute to the Draco Volans Acro Team from Montafon (Austria). These five young pilots are not only flying our Draco but also our Acroglider Duke and our Speed-Rider Carver. Thanks Draco-Volans for all your support!!
