The '''Ikarus Imagine''' is a German [high-wing](/source/high-wing), single-place, [hang glider](/source/hang_glider), designed by Thomas Pellicci and produced by his company [Ikarus Drachen Thomas Pellicci](/source/Ikarus_Drachen_Thomas_Pellicci).<ref name="WDLA04">Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04'', page 46. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X</ref>

Production has been completed and the glider is no longer available.

==Design and development==
The Imagine was designed to be an intermediate glider with good performance. Unlike many hang glider models, the Imagine is available in just one size, with a wing area of {{convert|14.8|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}.<ref name="WDLA04" />

The aircraft is made from [aluminum](/source/aluminum) tubing, with the wing covered in [Dacron](/source/Dacron) sailcloth. Its {{convert|10.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing is [cable braced](/source/Flying_wires) from a single [kingpost](/source/kingpost). The nose angle is 134° and the [aspect ratio](/source/aspect_ratio_(wing)) is 7.73:1. The pilot hook-in weight range is {{convert|50|to|87|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. It is certified as DHV Class 2.<ref name="WDLA04" />
