Miles Handley and Hiway Explorer
Manufacturer: Hiway
Model: ExplorerHiway Explorer Hang Glider, manufactured by Hiway and Miles Handley in
1983. When the company stopped and some matters were transferred, then the
model was discontinued.
The Hiway Explorer was definitely with a cable leading edge. But
we are seeking details about just what the cable may have carried; did the
cable carry a seating of rib battens? Did the cable carry any stiff
leading-edge shaper?
Details are invited to Lift. Thanks

Mike Orr commented: "une aile curieuse avec des
cābles en guise de bord d'attaque...
L'aile avait des problčmes en tangage lors de phases de vol sous faible
angle d'incidence..."

Tony Prentice and Brett Snellgrove (RIP, Lovetosaurus!] were revisiting a
study of the Hiway Explorer. JoeF noted that some OR discussion might

Discussion study notes:
The Don Liddard
video at 10:08 f point seems to me to be showing a leading-edge
aerodynamic control surface; does anyone have facts on this challenge?
 Appears to be
helpful in turning.
