safety, the glider is easy to control and can be handled under difficult conditions. Yet it’s agility and performance will thrill even the most skilled pilots. The easiness of the glider translating pilot commands. STARTING BEHAVIOR Behavior of the glider during the starting phase. LANDING BEHAVIOR Behavior of the glider during the landing phase. STABILITY The structural stability of the glider in turbulent air. The safety without pilot intervention. THERMAL PROPERTIES The easiness of entering the thermal center and climbing in thermals. GLIDE PROPERTIES The lenghts of gliding. MAXIMUM SPEED The maximal accelerable speed. PASSIVE SAFETY The Aquila is designed for all pilots with an intermediate skill level, being into real flying. With it’s collapse resistance and high passive UNDER DEVEL The Aquila is our dedicated freestyle glider. Based on our best thermal profile we were able to combine two worlds: The agility, speed and dynamics of an acro wing and the thermal and handling abilities of a high-level glider. The informations about the flight conditions given from the glider to the pilot. RESPONSE PROPERTIES AREAL WEIGHT The weight including risers and lines (1=light / 5=heavy). The maneuverability or mobility of the glider. PACK VOLUME The volume of the glider in packed state. The potential energy of the glider that can be used . The response-behavior of the glider to pilot comm

“A very successful symbiosis of agility and an excellent climb-rate. The perfect glider for freestyler who want to play with the elements beyond the local mountain. Due to its light weight and small packing size it is also the perfect companion for Hike and Fly. A real all-rounder…” Thomas Laireiter R&D / TEST PILOT 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 takeoff in weak and strong wind conditions and it loves the thermals … And despite the...
