ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, low cost, powered launch vehicle for carrying a hang glider aloft and releasing the glider for free flight provides an integral glider support frame for positioning the glider in flight-ready configuration and a selectively actuatable release device accessible to the glider operator for separation from the vehicle at a desired altitude. The support frame positions the glider so that the wing of the glider provides added lift to the launch vehicle during combined flight.
