Tecma Sport is a French aircraft manufacturer based in Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny and formerly in La Roche-sur-Foron. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of hang gliders and paragliders in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft. The company also makes ultralight trikes and hang glider harnesses.[1][2][3][4]

The company seems to have been founded about 1982, when it produced the Tecma Mirage and Tecma Spirale hang glider models.[2]

The company produces a wide range of hang gliders, including the Tecma F1 Tempo series and Tecma FX in the mid-2000s. The two-place Tecma Medium has been in production since 1985.[1][2]
