The Wills Wing Talon is an American high-wing, single-place, hang glider that was designed and produced by Wills Wing of Santa Ana, California in the early 2000s. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.^[1]

Design and development

The Talon was designed as competition-level glider. It is made from aluminum tubing, with the double-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its wing is a topless design, lacking upper rigging and the supporting kingpost. The nose angle is 132°.^[1]^[2]

The models are each named for their wing area in square feet.^[1]

Operational history

The Talon series placed highly in the 2002 competition season.^[1]
