    As well as enhancing EXOS’S performance by utilizing our latest design technology, high quality materials and manufacturing processes, it was equally important to us that we design EXOS as a practical and also user friendly glider.

    Chief designer Alexandre Paux takes up the story;

    “Based on a 6.4 aspect ratio platform, she is not extreme, yet we were able to reach extremely good levels of performance whilst coming with an honest glider within the C performance class to suit to the skilled XC pilot.”

    “Our continuous R & D work and attention to detail with line materials means we deliver EXOS with an optimized line set up with regards to practicality, performance and strength (including working strength over the life of the glider) by blending sheathed lower lines with unsheathed upper lines of varying diameters.”

    Here at Sky Paragliders we believe that precise and predictable handling allows the pilot to extract the performance from within the wing and thus more able to fully apply himself to the task of flying well, resulting in longer, safer and happier flights.

    Sky Team designer Cyprian Koren explains how this works for him.

    “For me, the real performance and safety is derived, not only from an efficient wing but one that enables me to access & extract comfortably the full potential that lies within. I need a wing that communicates well but without being over fussy. A wing that is too dead can create a false sense of security. EXOS is designed to be balanced and informative.  When I hit the bar on that long transition I want to feel that the wing is content, yet tells me when to adjust pitch & pressure. When I enter the rough small thermal, I want to know that I can quickly & precisely increase my bank angle to exploit every last drop of available lift. You could say that usable performance increases my performance and the EXOS’S design certainly has been designed to allow for this.”

    One of the contributors which bring our well known handling characteristics and predictable recovery behavior is the low weight of the wing.

    Michal Sotek, Sky technologist explains;

    “We know that every gram that we can save on the wing is a step forward to improving handling and security. Lowering inertia in the wing is extremely important. We have used SKYTEX 32 for both top and bottom surfaces offering lightness & durability. The internal structure of EXOS is a blend of SKYTEX 40 g for diagonals and tension tapes with SKYTEX 32 g for main and mini rib profiles.  A combination which offers stability, strength and lightness throughout the internal structure of the wing. The result of which is a 4.05 g M size glider that remains practical for regular use.”
