2023 Air Creation BioniX² Wing

Description

With our experience (almost 700 BioniX produced), we have optimized all the qualities that have made this wing a worldwide success & further enhanced its potential. The effective range of its “Corset” has been extended by 30% . The X² is more responsive at low speeds & more efficient at high speeds. For roll lightness, a “Delrin” ring is used for the hang point & a balancing tab on the lower longitudinal cables reduces parasitic forces. For perfect control in all conditions, the control bar’s “Easy Grip” shape provides optimum comfort at all speeds & limits the control bar movements to control the pitch & benefit from one lateral support for the roll .

For the sake of perfection, Air Creation obliges, with the selection of new materials: sailcloth “LiteSkin” & “Carbon Sport” strengthens protection against mishandling & U-V. The lifetime is thereby increased & the handling qualities are retained even longer. The mast & the A-frame are now in aluminium profiles for a perfect finish.

To get the most of the 13 sq.m ( 140 sq.ft) of the X², we also improved the performances at high angles, the absorption of water droplets by the fabric on the leading edge & the position of turbulators . This results in a reduction of the stall speed in all circumstances & increases the payload (MTOW 472.5 kg).

Proud of its mast, BioniX² does not purport to be the fastest wing in the world but is without question one of the most balanced & safest wings in the world.
