The Aériane Swift is a lightweight (48 kg) foot-launched tailless sailplane whose rigid wings have a span of 40 feet. The Swift has been succeeded by the "Swift'Lite". Although designed in California, Swift aircraft are now manufactured by Aériane, a European firm based in Gembloux, Belgium. Aériane first manufactured the Swift under licence, but the firm is now the sole manufacturer.

  • Das Gleitflugzeug Aériane SWIFT (Swept Wing with Inboard Flap Trim) wurde ursprünglich als starrer Hängegleiter entworfen, das deren Flugleistungen jedoch deutlich übertreffen sollte. Der Entwurf basierte auf einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen Bright Star Gliders, Ilan Kroo, einem Professor der Stanford University sowie einer Gruppe von Studenten. (de)
  • スウィフト(Swift)は、翼幅12.2 mのリジッドウィングを持つ無尾翼フットランチグライダーである。スウィフトは「スウィフトライト」("Swift'Lite")で置き換えられている。 スウィフトの設計はカリフォルニア州で行われたが、ベルギーのジャンブルーに拠点を置く社によって製造されている。Aériane社は当初、ライセンスの下でスウィフトを製造していたが、現在では唯一の製造者である。 (ja)
  • Lo Swift Light è un'ala volante monoposto in compositi e quindi molto leggera della società belga Aériane. L'acronimo SWIFT sta per Swept Wing with Inboard Flap for Trim. Con un'apertura alare di quasi 13 metri, assomiglia ad un aliante, ma pesa solo 50 chili. Il pilota può decollare a piedi da un pendio come un delta. La guida però non avviene con lo spostamento del peso come nei deltaplani, ma attraverso alettoni e flaps, come in un aereo a tre assi. Con questo velivolo Manfred Ruhmer. ha stabilito il record di distanza di 778 km per il volo libero. (it)
