The Aeros Still is a Ukrainian single-surface ultralight trike wing, designed and produced by Aeros of Kyiv. The wing is widely used on Aeros trikes as well as by other ultralight aircraft manufacturers.

Design and development

The Still wing is a cable-braced, king post-equipped hang glider-style wing designed as a docile beginner and flight training wing for two-place trikes. It comes in one size, the Still-17, named for its metric wing area of 17.4 m2 (187 sq ft).

The wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The wing's crosstube is exposed and is of a floating design. Its 10.3 m (33.8 ft) span wing has a nose angle of 122°, an aspect ratio of 6.1:1 and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.
