The Alien is a fully moulded HLG flying wing from the team Christophe Bourdon / Anton Ovcharenko (OA composites). The idea is to propose a flying wing with wide speed range, high manoeuvrability, but still with great ability to thermal soar.
The Alien can be flown at the slope or on a flat field with discuss launch. It can be ballasted to fly in higher wind, especially at the slope, and can be even used to do some light dynamic soaring.
