A flexible airframe flying wing, such as used for hang gliding, includes a central rib to which is perpendicularly connected two flexible spars. In turn, a plurality of floating ribs are releasably connected to the flexible spars, and extend generally parallel to the central rib. A flexible membrane envelops the central rib, the floating ribs, and the flexible spars in such manner as to bias the flexible spars in an arcuate configuration to define the leading edge of the flying wing. By virtue of the components thereof, and the flexible interconnection therebetween, the resulting flexible airframe flying wing is autostable and will adapt itself a various flight attitudes and conditions.
