Pilot Profile – The right size
Overall, the UFO flies almost like any other conventional glider and demonstrates comfortable
and well-behaved all-round flying characteristics. It only takes a short time in the air to get
used to the low dampening – meaning that the glider provides greater feedback in the air.
Depending on the respective wing loading, the trim speed changes and so does the character
of the wing:
The green area (see Speed Chart) – represents the ideal range for intermediate pilots. The UFO
flies like a conventional glider, comparable with other low-level EN-B wings.
When flown in the violet area, the wing flies faster and feels more like a mini-wing – increased
speed, more agility, and greater overall responsiveness – aimed at more experienced pilots.
The UFO 21 can be flown at a range of 75-90kg within EN-B. Up to 120kg the glider has got an
EN926-1 (load-tested certification).
The UFO18 can be flown at a range of 60-80kg within EN-C. Up to 120kg the glider has got an
EN926-1 (load-tested certification).
Sizing:
UFO14: Excellent option for very light pilots
UFO16: All-rounder - For light lighter pilots in intermediate style or with higher loading for that
mini-wing feel
UFO18: All-rounder, suitable for most pilots with EN-C (except for the brake-length all
manoeuvres are within EN-A or B).
UFO21: Intermediate behaviour with EN-B
EN category
The AirDesign UFO (all sizes up to 120kg) has been load- and shock tested according to EN 926-
