The Ellipse Fuji is a French high-wing, single-place, hang glider that was designed and produced by La société Ellipse of Étuz.[1]
The Fuji was designed as an intermediate hang glider for local recreational and cross-country flying. Built in four sizes, it is also suitable for adding a motorized harness for powered hang glider operations.[1]
Typical of the series, the Fuji 15 is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10 m (32.8 ft) span wing is cable braced from a single kingpost. The nose angle is 122° and the aspect ratio is 6.6:1. The model number indicates the approximate wing area in square metres.[1]
The Fuji 15 is used on the DTA Alizés nanotrike and the Electravia Electro Trike.[1]
