THE CHARACTERISTICS
The best thing about the Aquila is, that you can fly it in similar conditions like normal big gliders, plus much more: It is amazingly stable and compact, equally easy to take off in weak and strong wind conditions and it loves the thermals … And despite the small size, it climbs like crazy!
Due to the gliders construction and size, it is much lighter and fits into smaller backpacks. Like all the gliders from our new generation, the Aquila has a very simple, yet very advanced line geometry. Being a hybrid 3-liner with only 2 main lines per side makes the glider more performant and easier at tricky takeoffs.
The brakes are very effective, allowing you to slow down the wing, in order to use the weakest thermals or wind for soaring. Beyond that, they’re also very precise, making the Aquila highly maneuverable and easy to loop around …
Despite the high loading, when a collapse occurs, the glider reacts softly and very predictable, making the collapse reacting like an EN-A/B wing.
If you are looking for the ultimate playful wing, the Aquila will allow you to push your flying to the next level.
