Description
The Pilot
The Alta is designed for pilots who “want it all”, in a highly safe and reliable wing. If you want the performance necessary to fly XC, but prioritize ease of use & safety, and also want a light and versatile wing for everyday flying, then the Alta has what you need.
It sits solidly in the EN A category in terms of passive safety and reliability, yet has the glide performance of a mid-range EN B. Whether you’re launching from a coastal dune or a high alpine col, going XC or just thermalling locally, the Alta will take you there with ease.
This unique combination of design tech has created a wing that is forgiving, easy to launch and fly, durable enough to be your only wing, and light enough to carry anywhere.
The Tech
The Alta contains design technology that has pushed the boundaries of performance in our most advanced wings.
Double transversal shaping for high efficiency in the nose and leading edge.
Optimized intake positioning for high internal pressure and good chord stability for handling and performance.
The lower intake section benefits from an innovative new feature which eliminates vibration common in lower aspect ratio designs.
3D referenced rib alignments for optimal airflow and efficiency.
The high arc design combined with winglets offers the best of both worlds: better handling, and good roll stability and spiral behaviour.
A new and unique profile developed from the Moxie provides fast and easy inflation and launch.
The low drag line plan and materials was developed from knowledge gained in the Red Bull X-Alps wing R&D program.
Its every-day durability makes the Alta more than just a light wing!
