6. ABOUT AXIS 
 

Axis started to design and make paragliders in 2001. Success swiftly followed and now 
many of the world’s best competition pilots choose to fly Axis. They have won podium 
places at competitions around the world, including at recent World Cup events and 
the World Championships.  
 
The lessons learned from these thousands of hours of competition success have been 
used to develop the Pluto II, a new generation of recreational glider.
