hasn’t dreamed of a motor that obeys to the command of one’s finger?

Now 48 years old, Gerard Lesieux, the
inventor of the Chameleon,
is interested in everything that flies since
childhood.
He flies ULM Delta trike since 1980, Hanglider since 1985,
paraglider since 1990 and paramotor since
2003.
Having observed that the only muscle available when
both hands are occupied steering a machine,
is the index finger,
15 years ago, Lesieux had the idea of a
digital throttle
He created and leaded
AEF DESIGN during the past 20 years.
He sold it to create
AEF
Gliders.
His first company
designs, creates and manufactures
industrial equipment, which explains the
exceptional design of the Chameleon and
other flying machines of the range.
He made the first prototype 5 years ago and
he has been perfecting the design during the
last 2 years. There were 10 versions and 7
completed prototypes. The research,
design
and industrial tooling for the Chameleon cost... 70 K Euros!
Lesieux called this throttle system
"Chameleon", because it fits to everything;
ULM, motorized Hang glider, paramotor and it
will soon be adapted in prosthesis for
disabled persons, as well as Go-kart,
wheelchair, etc.
