- SUper SImple –
SuSi is a multi purpose paraglider - a small and simple
paraglider-style wing with good glide performance and all
round comfortable characteristics*
SuSi is no speedwing. Glide performance is very good for its size.
SuSi is no acro wing. SuSi is designed for comfort in flight but can be
flown actively and dynamically.
Design aims :
Our SUperSImple glider is a multi-purpose paraglider, designed for pilots who want to have fun
in all kinds of conditions and places; coastal soaring in strong winds, mountaineering and
dynamic free flying.
The concept for SuSi is a wing that is small, therefore light and easy to launch but with good
head-wind performance to reliably bring you back down after a day in the mountains. The
performance and good take off characteristics mean SuSi is highly suitable for mountaineering
descent and ‘hike & fly’. SuSi inflates and lifts-off like a paraglider making launching from
restricted or tricky mountain situations relatively stress free.
Pilot profile :
SUperSImple refers to the construction of the glider and not to the flying experience. SuSi is
dynamic when flown fast; pilots should be experienced and with good glider handling skills to
control the wing during this style of flying. We recommend the use of this wing for Pilots
fulfilling the demands of a Pilot-profile EN-C and above.
The glider has been tested for ´solo´/single person use only.
*Due to its small size the wing has a high trim-speed with fast and radical reactions to brake
input. Pilots must be experienced to be able to control this type of wing.
Suitability for training
The AirDesign SuSi is NOT suitable for training or use in the school environment (except as a
ground handling/kite wing)
Recommended weight range
The SuSi has no specific weight range. The maximum weight in-flight is 120kg. The take-off
weight includes pilot plus clothing, glider, harness, equipment etc.
Altering the take-off weight changes also the speed of the wing. As a reference we state the
take-off speed at an in-flight weight of 85kg. A change of weight of about 10kg results in a
change of speed of around 2km/h.
Glider info :
Test flights have proven that SuSi has good pitch stability with easy handling for a wing of this
type.
With only a little brake input, SuSi can be flown like a standard glider, turning flat and with an
astounding climb for its small size. With more pilot input SuSi is super agile, super fun and can
