The Icaro 2000 Hang Gliders

In 1973 ICARO 2000 was the first hang glider factory in Europe.

Since 1983 we have always been committed to top quality, using only the best aluminium tubes in the aeronautic alloy 7075.

All our gliders are all certified by the DHV (Germany).

In 1992 Manfred Ruhmer starts to develope all new models and to win in competitions. In a few years he will become the world's best pilot.

With the successful model Laminar Manfred starts to reach very important competition results:
3 times World Champion
4 times European Champion.

In 2009 and 2011 Alex Ploner wins again the world championships in Laragne, France and in Monte Cucco, Italy.

Today the Laminar model is at its 10th evolution grade.

Beside the top kingpost less model Laminar, we build all hang gliders categories, from the school and recreational glider to the intermediate, advanced and biplace models.

ICARO will reach in 2011 the milestone figure of 9.500 gliders manufactured and sold, most of them being top-end models very successful in competitions

ICARO aims to improve constantly the technology, the performance  and the overall quality in all his hang gliders models.  
 
The names and the logos Icaro, Icaro 2000 & 4fight are registrated trade marks
      For all of us at Icaro 2000, the name “4fight” has nothing to do with war.
In fact, we believe in peace and in man’s wellbeing. That is why we started manufacturing helmets for the protection of those who take part in extreme sports.
For us, “4fight” refers to the struggle with fear that we all go through at moments in which we accept a challenge.
An internal fight towards self-improvement and the attainment of seemingly impossible goals.
Our company is committed to continuously improving the safety, comfort and design of our products.
Therefore we reserve the right to modify the characteristics in any way, without any prior notice.
