🎬Archaeopteryx-Lightest Sailplane In The World🎬
It is Archaeopteryx or Archaeopteryx glider, takes name from the ancient first Dinosaur bird. Archaeopteryx is single seat and the lightest sailplane in the world.
The Archaeopteryx can take off and land almost anywhere just like a hang glider but it flies like a conventional sailplane.

This is like a childhood fantasy come true. I’ve always imagined being able to fly on my own. Having something like this and the space/environment to use it is freedom.

[T.W.I.T.]

he said "when flying, landing may be the most important factor"
understatement of the century...

[Nicky_Nacky_Nooo]

Nice to see they picked an easy to remember and easy to spell name for it.

[enriquecancino]

That looks like it's too much fun for a person to have! Yet, I can't stop thinking how exciting it must be to be able to fly with almost no power but the wind and thermal currents.

[computerjantje]

PLEASE STOP using robot voices. They are killing every freaking video with the dead voice sound

[raystaar]

If you want to excite people, get a person to read your script. AI sucks.

I did a lot of gliding in the old days, and miss it. This has me really interested again. Gliding is the pinnacle of flying. Being up there above the earth without any power is excitement personified. Takes some skill in weak lift, but its worth the sweat to get to great heights and soar like an eagle. Once was attacked by an eagle during breeding season.... what an awesome experience that was. His eye and my eye were 6 inches apart. Kudos to the inventor of this aircraft.

The narration is generated from an artificial intelligence source. You’ll find more and more of this. It’s rather cringeworthy to listen to but it gets the job done.

How much? No doubt shockingly expensive, well beyond the budget of 99% of us watching this! This craft was invented back in the late 80' to early 90s by an aeronautical engineer. I remember watching him demonstrate it, self launching like a bird, with his own two feet. Genius. He designed and built it himself with carbon fiber. It made such an impact on me, seeing a self launch plane that could glide effortlessly, I never forgot it. Looks like they finally put his idea into actual production. What attracted me was, with plans, you could build one yourself affordably.

@1:27 the video is backwards lol! No way the guy lined that up like that! hahaha! cool plane though!

[plica]

The whole thing is made of foam. If you get bored up there you can start breaking bits off the cockpit and scrunching the foam in to tiny pieces using only your bare hands, very satisfying and relaxing.

[TheRonald]

Orville and Wilber wright would be Love How much

[MUISHAGGY]

Fred Flinstone would be proud of the foot launch😂

[JandeBloois]

What a great little plane! Well explained how you can use it.

[eliezerrivera]

Hi, thanks for sharing this video I've been looking for ever about the archaeopteryx until I saw it this morning on you tube, thank you!!!

[niklassaft]

This was a nice thing to watch after a long Tuesday of work

[stumccabe]

This script was not written by a native English speaker! It sounds like it was written in Chinese and translated unto English.

[TheShawVMedia]

Oh that standard/open cockpit model is
6:09... I died laughing. That is absolutely wild.

[Muscleupsanddangles]

You can buy a very nice, safe, 4 seat plane for this price, but very cool and looks fun.

[davidwrobel]

I enjoyed watching this video, thank you for sharing
