Seedwings Europe (officially Seedwings Airsports GmbH) was an Austrian aircraft manufacturer headquartered in Schlitters, established in 1987. The enterprise focused on crafting hang gliders sold as complete, ready-to-fly units as well as producing harnesses for hang gliding.[1][2]
The firm operated as a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH), which is a form of limited liability company.[2]
By October 2017, the official website domain was listed for sale, indicating that the company likely ceased operations.[3]
Seedwings Europe offered an extensive lineup of hang gliders, including intermediate models such as the Crossover XC and Crossover XCS, the beginner-friendly Funky, high-performance variants like the Skyrunner XR and Skyrunner XRS, along with the early intermediate Space. During the 2000s, their portfolio also featured intermediate designs such as the Kestrel and Merlin, plus the competition-grade topless model, the Vertigo.[1][4]
