An honest B-wing with revolutionary performance and sporty handling. With its glide ratio of 10.7 and its high speed, the HORIZON is an ideal cross-country wing. The HORIZON reacts precisely and without delay to the smallest control impulses and converts thermals very reliably into heights.
The Sharknose provides more stability at higher speeds. Its characteristics during slow flight are also outstanding. The HORIZON can be started easily and with low take-off speed.
The 3D shaping gives the leading edge a smooth, wrinkle-free surface and, in combination with the Precision Profile Nose (PPN), increases profile fidelity in the nose area. Complex calculations of the ballooning in conjunction with the optimized wing pre-stressing ensure the perfect airflow around the profile. The High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) optimizes cross-ventilation of the cross ports and creates a balanced inside pressure of the wing. The line setup is very clear with three main lines.
The intelligent material mix and the high-quality manufacturing of the HORIZON guarantee a long service life with a low canopy weight.
- The sharknose provides higher stability during higher speeds.
- The 3D shaping gives the wing a wrinkle-free tension and increases, in combination with the Precision Profile Nose (PPN), the form fidelity in the nose area.
- Complex calculations of the ballooning in conjunction with the optimized pre-tensioning of the wing provide the perfect flow around the profile.
- The High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) idealizes the lateral aeration of the crossports and provides the wing with a balanced internal pressure.
- The line setup is very straightforward with three main lines.
