The Aeros Stalker refers to two Ukrainian hang glider families built by Aeros of Kyiv. The original Stalker, introduced in 1991, is a single‑seat, intermediate glider for recreational cross‑country flying and was Aeros’ first product after leaving Antonov. It received BHPA certification in 1994, and production ended in 1995 when it was replaced by the Aeros Stealth. In 1999, Aeros revived the Stalker as a rigid‑wing design. It gained German DHV certification in 2001 and was still in production in 2003, notable for using ailerons on the wing instead of spoilers. The 12.4 m wingspan has a nose angle of 146° and an aspect ratio of 11:1, with a pilot weight range of 65 to 100 kg. Neither line is in production now.
