The Titan was designed as a competition hang glider and is built in two different models and two sizes.[1]
Typical of the series, the Titan Comp 12.5 is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 9.6 m (31.5 ft) span wing is a "topless" design, lacking a kingpost and upper flying wires. The nose angle is 132° and the aspect ratio is 7.2:1. The model number indicates the approximate wing area in square metres.[1]
