The Bautek Bico, also called the BiCo, is a German high-wing, two-place, hang glider designed and produced by Bautek.[1]
The Bico was designed for dual instruction and as such it features easy handling and optional wheeled landing gear.[1][2]
The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing top surface covered in 205 gram Power LL polyester and the bottom surface plain polyester sailcloth. Its 9.6 m (31.5 ft) span wing is cable braced from a single tube-type kingpost. The wing's nose angle is 132°.[1][2]
The aircraft only comes in one size, a wing area of 17.2 m2 (185 sq ft).[1][2]
The wing is used on the PowerTrike Light-Delta nanotrike.[3]
