Apollo 3 Light – The Ideal Lightweight Wing for Your XC Adventures and Bivouac Flights
Discover a new dimension of lightweight flying with the Apollo 3 Light. Thanks to its innovative design, this wing opens the doors to aerial trekking, bivouac flying, and demanding cross-country adventures. Lighten your gear without compromising performance, and enjoy precise, intuitive, and extremely reassuring handling, whatever the air mass conditions.
Lightweight Performance, Strong Sensations
The Apollo 3 Light was born from a simple idea: preserve the performance DNA of the Apollo 3 while optimizing its weight to ease your adventures. Its lighter structure provides better portability during long hikes, without sacrificing safety or flight stability.
The thermal behavior is outstanding: it centers itself even in small, narrow cores and delivers excellent performance in broken thermals. Its handling is smooth and precise, allowing you to stay focused on your line without being overwhelmed by the wing.
The lightweight design of the Apollo 3 Light also ensures remarkable ease of take-off. On technical launches with limited space or marginal conditions, it rises effortlessly and offers safe, effective take-offs.
High-Quality Design and Technical Innovations
Every detail of the Apollo 3 Light has been carefully designed to enhance your flying experience:
- XRC (Cross Rod Construction): Internal rods for precise leading edge support, ensuring excellent dynamic pressure at all speeds.
- Triple 3D Cut: Strategic cuts on both the top and bottom surfaces for an exceptionally clean aerodynamic profile, boosting performance and stability.
- 3.5-Line Concept: Simplified line layout for easier big ears and reduced drag, enhancing XC transitions and glide ratio.
- AFP: Reinforced leading edge pockets to minimize cell vibration at higher speeds under acceleration.
- Ergonomic C-Risers: Designed for long accelerated transitions, offering direct and intuitive steering with minimal fatigue.
- Light and durable fabrics: Specifically selected for hike-and-fly, combining strength, compactness, and optimal security.
Combining these innovations, the Apollo 3 Light delivers a smooth and responsive flying experience, perfect for advancing confidently in XC flying and exploring new horizons.
