Aeronautic 2000
The Aeronautic 2000 company was founded in 1981 by Henri de Beaufort and Roland Magallon, to distribute the Baroudeur. One of the first participants in hang-gliding in France and a man who became one of the most important manufacturers of hang-gliders in Europe, Roland was the first to produce trikes units to fit under an unmodified hang-glider wing. With the marketing of the Baroudeur single-seater in the summer of 1982, he became the first European manufacturer to offer a complete range of machines from weight-shift machines (which are marketed separately under the name Veliplane) to three-axis conventional-control types. |
