Launch characteristics are impeccable.
The immediate feeling of comfort and stability is becoming a trademark of
AirDesign gliders.
In the words of the AirDesign gliders architect, Stephan Stiegler: “It’s one of the
best gliders I ever made … a glider perfect for those pilots coming into the EN-C
class as well as those who maybe wary of moving onto the new EN-D wings”
Technical details:

performance airfoil from PURE - competition technology with safety

certified without folding lines

3-Line-System : a 3-line concept with the inner C lines split to form short D lines.
Unsheathed ‚race’ lines are used in the upper two cascades to reduce drag.main lines
with sheated aramid lines.

back positioned attachments which improves stability and reduces pitching

Polyamide rods in the leading edge keep the profile in perfect shape and improve
stability and launch characteristics.

3D Cut : a technical sail cutting method used across the leading edge area. This
produces improved air flow and increased performance.

The 2-in-1 progressive brake line layout improves climb characteristics. The center
brake fan is attached slightly in from the trailing edge to improve climb. At the tips,
the line runs through small rings on the trailing edge to gather the tip and assist
precise turning whatever the conditions.

brake-shift option: This gives the pilot the option to modify the way of turning the
wing and adapt to different flying conditions. This is achieved by shifting the brake
(hand) either to the inside or outside which results in a steeper or flatter turning.

Mini-ribs in the trailing edge improve surface finish and reduce drag.

Performance style, reinforced 12mm risers, adjustable brake handles and dirt-holes
at the wing tips complete the quality finish.
