GRAVITY Xmaniac
EN REV.V01 - 2020
Chief-Designer Ernst Strobl optimised the aspect ratio of the wing in multiple steps and layers.
The vast span of this sweet-tempered, or let’s even call it forgiving, wing-concept allowed
high increase in performance. The Xmaniac 5 is equipped with a shark nose which gives more
stability at higher speeds. The 3D shaping gives the cell opening area a dynamic tension and
enhances - in combination with the Precision Profile Nose (PPN) - the shape accuracy in the
nose-area. Elaborate planning and calculations of the pre-tensioning and a precise ballooning
help the profile to the perfect inflow. The High Pressure Crossport Design optimizes the lateral
aeration of the cross ports and creates a balanced internal pressure of the wing. The line setup
is very straight-forward with only 3 main lines. The line levels are color-coded, which helps a
lot when sorting them and also during the flight.

When choosing the ideal and most suitable mix of materials, we put the focus on maximum
durability and lasting performance. The top-materials Dokdo 30 and Dokdo 20 create an
evenly light weight and high abrasion strength. Especially during the sometimes harsh
conditions of schooling and training, this special material mix for long-term durability,
optimizes the shape retention enduringly. An easy-going and manageable line-concept with
few main lines guarantees easy handling and a good overview during ground handling.
