The AONIC
Introduction
The high-end EN A paraglider AONIC impresses with sportiness and
performance, which is not usually found with EN A gliders – and is
nevertheless suitable for instruction due to its high level of safety.
A fresh breeze for the EN A class
The AONIC paves the way to the upper end of the EN A class. From
the first day in the air. It is therefore ideal for ambitious paragliding
students – and all pilots who want to consciously hone their skills
within the EN A class. Is the change to an EN B wing inevitable at some
point? Not necessarily. With an aspect ratio of 5.17, 49 cells and a
minimalist line set design, the AONIC offers performance and handling
like an EN B class wing, but with a plus in safety. This also makes
it attractive for pilots who want to change to an EN A wing. Good
reasons to do this are plentiful. Foremost is the desire for relaxed flying –
always, everywhere and without missing anything.
Going places together
During the testing phase, special attention was paid to making the
AONIC easily accessible and versatile. The AONIC offers intuitive
handling, high passive safety and a pleasant pinch of agility and speed
– a mixture with a lot of potential for adventure – thanks to its
elaborate technical design and an optimisation of the material down to
the last detail. Anyone who learns to fly with the AONIC will continue
to enjoy their glider for a long time after their training is completed. Be
it SIV/pilotage, XC flights, travel or simply soaring the local mountain.
Keeping all options open
With the AONIC it is easy to gain a lot of flight experience within the
EN A class. Which is always an advantage – not only if you decide
to move up to the EN B class later or if you get to the point where
you want to specialise in a particular branch in paragliding. Hike
& fly, cross-country, competition, acro – if at any time one of these
branches of the sport becomes YOUR passion, then the AONIC is
certainly a great first wing to ensure solid preparation. If the broad
spectrum of paragliding is still your goal, you never need to part ways
with the AONIC.

Simple line set
design: The AONIC
only has two line
galleries: main lines
and gallery lines, but
there is no middle
gallery. This means
only very few line
elements and as a
result, they are very
simple to sort.
