Vision

The VISION is a high-performance intermediate of superlatives. At the upper limit of the B-Class, this super glider offers a new level of performance-oriented fun. The glide ratio of 11.6, previously unheard of in the B-Class, enables epic cross-country flying experiences with guaranteed success. Follow your VISION as far as your curiosity will take you. The VISION combines high speed and sporty handling with damped reactions in extreme flight behavior. At U-Turn, innovative thinking is a must – and so we saw our development claim in maintaining class-appropriate safety and at the same time breaking through the performance limit.

The VISION sets new standards in the performance-oriented B-Class. The track wing conveys a precise feeling in the air and provides direct feedback. The compact wing also cuts through active air masses with target-oriented smoothness and remains calm in demanding conditions. The cross-country machine delivers an efficient climb even in flat turns. The progression in the brake area is linear. The VISION is a statement – Ernst Strobl has long carried the name VISION, his most successful wing at the time, in the back of his mind. It should be no coincidence that on his thirtieth anniversary as a paraglider designer, the time has come for a wing concept that meets all the parameters for continuing the success story. With the new wing, Strobl packs his concentrated development and pilot know-how into the performance wing and carries the VISION into the future. The VISION inspires all XC enthusiasts. Built for big goals, the high-performance intermediate has a wide range of applications. For performance-oriented track riders who want the good feeling of the B-Class, as well as C riders who want to transfer their usual C performance to the B-Class. The low weight makes it the perfect travel companion for hike & fly adventures and cross-country bivouacs as well as for traveling to remote countries and flying spots.

Ernst Strobl gives the sporty wing its strong handling characteristics and optimizes the brake application points with miniribs (MRB) and the brake gathering system (BGS). The Sharknose gives the fast wing stability at high speeds. The 3D shaping (3DS) in combination with the Precision Profile Nose (PPN) optimizes the profile tension in the nose area. Wing pre-tensioning and ballooning help the profile to achieve perfect airflow through complex calculations. The High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) optimizes the cross-ventilation of the crossports and creates a balanced internal pressure of the wing. The line setup is kept very clear with three sheathed main lines. The latest generation of PPSLS lines are used here, which ensure extremely high breaking loads with a minimal diameter while minimizing power resistance.
