significantly and flying becomes stress free. We call this the AirDesign Comfort-in-Flight. This
makes the SuSi2 is attractive to a wide range of pilots.
Superlight
Hike & fly started with the beginning of our sport when
paragliders were used as a way of descending after climbing a
mountain. Recent glider developments and new light materials
have revived this trend.
All kinds of motives have led to a vast range of gliders suitable
for various activities and pilots: The extreme athlete who wants
to hike up a mountain quickly but doesn't want to walk back
down again; the hobby pilot who wants to keep fit; the 'soul-
flyer' who prefers to enjoy nature alone; or the XC pilot who
plans bivouac trips covering long distances.
With AirDesign Superlight gliders, the same flying behaviour as
our standard wings, along with a reduction in weight and small
packing volume are matters of the utmost importance.
If you want to go on long trekking tours, you need additional space for equipment.
When travelling, for example by train or plane, low weight and small packing volume are a
great advantage.
If a pilot doesn't want to carry much weight in general, Superlight equipment is also the right
choice.
• All Superlight gliders are delivered with the AirPack Light, so the wing can be packed as small
as possible. The packing volume of a Superlight glider is at least 30% smaller than of a standard
glider.
• AirDesign Superlight wings come with unsheathed lines as standard. As an option, they can
be ordered with sheathed lines.
• The reduction in glider weight is about 20-30% (depending on glider type). If you also use a
light-weight backpack, harness, and rescue system, your total equipment has half the weight of
standard equipment!
