The Delka is a unique design by Laurent de Kalbermatten of Switzerland.
The Delka featured the pilot located in the plane of the wing, thus out of the airstream and causing less drag.
The prototype Delka suffered an accident in flight off a high mountain (pitch stability problem?), and the test pilot, Didier Favre, was killed. Development of the glider stopped at that point.
