The Hexa-Pod Telescope (HPT) with a radically new mounting concept is being developed. It is planned to be the largest (mirror diameter 12 m) and most efficient optical single telescope in the world. Novel concepts and ideas have to be developed and applied in combination with the newest technologies. The optical structure with mirrors is running on bearings on six legs with adjustable length, resulting in a strong weight reduction and simple mechanical structures. The use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics allows a suitable choice of thermal expansion coefficients, while the use of laser gyroscopes provides very accurate angle measurements. The main advantages of the HPT are low weight and high surface precision.
