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.
