The Aviafiber Canard 2FL was a one-person recreational aircraft of highly unusual design. Variously described as a rigid-wing hang-glider or as a foot-launched sailplane it was the brainchild of Swiss aerodynamicist Hans Farner. Of fibreglass construction it consisted of a tiny fuselage just big enough to accommodate the pilot in a prone position and provided with doors in the bottom through which the pilot’s feet could protrude for takeoff and landing.
