Congratulations  on  buying  an  Icaro  2000  hang  glider!  We  are  certain  that  you  have  made  the  right 
choice! 
 
The “PIUMA” is now the most innovative hang glider on the market. It was designed to provide a simple 
and reliable introduction to the techniques of hang glider flying. 
The  glider  reacts  gently  and  rapidly  to  the  pilot's  actions,  and  it  ensures  high  stability  and  predictable 
behaviour. The PIUMA enables pilots to progressively develop their hang glider flying experience. 
 
Icaro  2000  srl  is  a  company  that  leads  the  world  in  the  field  of  hang  gliding  construction.  The  results 
attained in competition and sales put it in first place amongst hang glider manufacturers. 
Hang gliders by Icaro 2000 are independently designed and built, using exclusively premium quality raw 
materials, in the factory premises at Sangiano, in northern Italy. 
The success of our gliders stems from the skill and commitment of Manfred Ruhmer,  who holds eight 
World Championship titles (three Cross Country titles, one Speed Gliding title and four Class II titles), it 
stems from the skill of Christian Ciech (aeronautic engineer, 2 World Championship titles in class 5), as 
well as from our three decades of experience in hang glider manufacture. 
All our hang gliders have German certification, which is acknowledged as being the most stringent in the 
world as regards the safety parameters demanded from the glider. 

 

You can rest assured that spare parts and service will always be available, no matter where you fly, by 
means  of  our  worldwide  network  of  distributors.  This  includes  spares  for  all  models,  both  those  in 
production and earlier designs. 
 
Thank you for choosing our hang gliders and we wish you great flights!
