  Icarus I
It was a rigid-wing, tailless biplane and Taras named it "Icarus" after the Greek legend of a father and son who fashioned wings made of feathers and wax.
He soon finished the "Icarus II" and the original "Icarus" became the "Icarus I." The "Icarus II" was another biplane but the wings swept back more steeply.
The Federal Aviation Administration recognized the "Icarus II" as an aircraft and officials assigned it an aircraft registration number; something that never happened to a Rogallo wing because of its limited performance.

  Science Fair Projects - Kiceniuk Icarus V
The Kiceniuk Icarus V was the fifth designed and third built in a series of hang gliders designed by Taras Kiceniuk, Jr.
Icarus V was a swept wing, constant-chord, flying wing monoplane with a 32-foot span.
Kiceniuk's Icarus V from 1973 will be one of eight ultralight aircraft displayed at the Experimental Aircraft Association's Tribute to Ultralight Pioneers exhibit at their AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

 Kiceniuk Icarus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kiceniuk Icarus II was the second in a series of hang gliders designed by Taras Kiceniuk, Jr.
Like Icarus I, Icarus II was a rigid biplane flying wing.
It was steered by hand controlled rudders, unlike Rogallo wing hang gliders of the time that were steered by the pilot shifting his body weight.

In the 1960s and the early 1970s, many gliders were built that would now be considered dangerous.
The first notable hang gliders were Icarus I and Icarus II, which were rigid biplane flying wing designs by Taras Kiceniuk, Jr.
It resembled Icarus V but had a flexible wing and no rudders, and the pilot flew in a prone position.

 Power Glide
Glide bombs are often fitted with control systems, allowing the controlling aircraft to direct the bomb to a pinpoint target.
The first glide bombs were developed by the Germans during World War II as an anti-shipping weapon.
Ships are typically very difficult to attack: a direct hit is needed to do any serious damage, and hitting a target as small as a ship was difficult during WWII.

 The Hang Loose
Taras Kiceniuk later wrote, "The Bamboo Butterflies demonstrated [that day] that this design was capable of excellent control in the hands of a skilled pilot-and very limited in aerodynamic performance.
When Jack Lambie noted, "The very slow speed Hang Loose was not to be the hang glider of the future," he could have been speaking for other fixed-wing craft as well-at least for the next six years.
For while the Icarus and Jensen's VJ-12 series offered long, graceful flight, and Kiceniuk even caught a thermal in late'72, they hadn't solved the problems of portability, easy assembly, crash resistance, and restricted landings.
