Advance Alpha 5 - Flying Essentials

Development of the new glider for beginners and recreational pilots from ADVANCE, the ALPHA 5 is now complete.

Live your dream of flying with a glider you can trust 100%: as a classic for first flights - and beyond - the ALPHA 5 offers maximum beginner-friendliness and passive safety. This fifth generation of the Alpha dynasty builds on 20 years’ experience of making paragliders, and takes on board the latest technology.

Reduced canopy weight and profile-holding Nylon wires in the leading edge make the takeoff behaviour even better than before. The ALPHA 5 needs even less pull to pull up, and fills even more reliably from the centre. And, as well, the already high level of passive safety of the ALPHA 4 has been further improved by a redesigned internal structure. The ALPHA 5 was also tested over an expanded weight range, intended to increase the dynamic possibilities of the wing. The wing still gets an A certification, and this further demonstrates its substantial passive safety margins in an impressive way.

Deliveries of the ALPHA 5 will begin at the end of August.
