Exta – #EscapeTheMatrix

Airdesign sin første parakite er ute på markedet!!

En spennende vinge med for fjellet og den er klar til å bestilles!!!

Extasy, noun (feminine)
from the Greek ἐκ / ek, ‘outside’, and στάσις / stásis, ‘a place where one stands’
A state of extreme joy and admiration, caused by someone or something, which overwhelms all other feelings.
Born in the heart of the mountains, designed for mountain enthusiasts!

Our ParaKite Light is the first of its kind and makes this new discipline surprisingly accessible. Straddling the line between paragliding and parakiting, the Exta opens up a whole new world of possibilities, allowing you to make the most of thermal conditions, enjoy mountain soaring or, quite simply, rediscover your favourite Hike&Fly flight.

It makes this sport more intuitive and accessible, even in the most challenging environments.

Imagine if every hill became a BMX ramp, and every mountain pasture a skateboard rail.

Exta – Enjoy the pills 😉

 

Accessibility

The Exta has been designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. The low aspect ratio of the wing, combined with a hybrid design that bridges the gap between a paraglider and a parakite, offers the best balance between the stability characteristic of a parakite and the reactive behaviour of a paraglider outside its flight envelope. The tension in the internal structure and the management of stiffness along the wing’s chord have resulted in handling characteristics suited to active aerology. The emphasis has been placed on active safety, notably through the use of pyramid-shaped D-lines that tighten to actively assist re-opening in the event of a frontal collapse.

Handling

When the magnets on the risers and brake handles are aligned, you are in neutral. The brake travel is similar to that of a conventional paraglider and ends with a distinct hard spot, providing a clear warning before stalling.

High-performance

With its technical specifications, the Exta delivers excellent performance in both soaring and thermals. It will enable you to reach flight paths that would normally be out of reach.

Lightness

Weighs just 2.2 kg in size 16. It packs away perfectly in a Hike & Fly Trail Rucksack 24L.

 

Durability

We’ve used a more durable fabric on the wing tips to withstand repeated friction, but do take care caressing the ground with the wing tips. The wing also incorporates the key technologies that are our hallmark: Ghost Nose Guard to protect the leading edge, Nitinol struts (unbreakable and non-deformable, ensuring the profile is maintained), as well as an optimised internal structure to lighten the overall weight, limit deformation and maintain performance over time. For intensive use, the entire leading edge is made from reinforced fabric, as are the last five cells.

 

 

 

Brake adjustment

The responsiveness of the steering can be adjusted using the various attachment points available on the main brake line’s adjustment scale. The Exta is supplied with a neutral setting, offering the most versatile use.

Shortening the brakes: by positioning the attachment on a lower knot, you will achieve a more direct response from the system and greater influence over its behaviour. This configuration offers increased steering precision, at the cost of greater effort on the controls, as well as improved low-speed performance and better manoeuvrability.

Lengthening the brakes: conversely, by using a higher attachment point, the force required on the controls is reduced and the responses become more progressive.
