Manufacturer Apco Aviation
Status Production completed

The Apco Keara is an Israeli single-place, paraglider that was designed and produced by Apco Aviation of Caesarea. It is now out of production.[1]

Design and development

The Keara was designed as an intermediate glider. The four models are each named for their relative size.[1] The glider was named for Kiara, the main protagonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the daughter of Simba and Nala.[2]

The Keara introduced HIT Valves (High-Speed Intake Valves) with the intention to improve stability and performance at high speeds and at low angles of attack.[2]
