Aonic 2

The high-end EN A paraglider AONIC 2 impresses with sportiness and performance, which is not usually found with EN A gliders - and is nevertheless suitable for instruction due to its high level of safety.

Technically more sophisticated. Noticeably simpler.

The AONIC 2 (EN/LTF A) is the most technically advanced High-A glider in its class – setting new standards.

With 51 cells, a refined line setup, optimized curvature, and high-end-materials, it unites what was previously seen as opposites:

Maximum safety, genuine thermal performance, and a flying experience that is both precise and relaxed.

Safety + performance = AONIC 2.

The AONIC 2 proves that safety does not mean compromise.
It is safe enough for training, yet so well-balanced and powerful that it continues to deliver joy long after school – in thermal flying, relaxed XC outings, or simply enjoying the air.

Designed as a mid-B glider, with the safety of an EN-A paraglider.

AONIC 2 in one sentence:
"The AONIC 2 defines how far the EN-A class can be taken: a paraglider that uncompromisingly combines safety, performance, and pure flying fun."

What's new?

What makes the AONIC 2 unique

51 cells – stability & precision

• High-class profile fidelity in the A-class.
• Exact handling, clearer feedback, more efficient glide and climb.

Mini Ribs – efficiency in thermals

• Double the number of cells at the trailing edge.
• More precise brake feedback.
• A smoother, more aerodynamic canopy.

Reduced line concept

• Less drag, less complexity on the ground.
• More performance – especially in accelerated flight.

New brake geometry

• More attachment points for a more even brake distribution.
• Smooth landings thanks to excellent flare characteristics.

Improved pitch and collapse stability

• Remains calm in active air, even if things get turbulent.
• Less stress, more enjoyment.

Who is the AONIC 2 made for?

The AONIC 2 is not a “classictraining glider” – it is the wing that nurtures real enthusiasm for our sport.

This is what the AONIC 2 is for:

• For students after their first solo flights – when the first own wing should offer more than just “forgiveness.”
• For AONIC 1 fans who want to keep the familiar feeling, but gain more precision, performance, and thermal efficiency.
• For pleasure and thermal seekers who consciously combine safety AND fun.
• For returnees who want to fly reliably and confidently again after a break.

In short:

The AONIC 2 is the wing for everyone who doesn’t want to underchallenge themselves – but also doesn’t want to be overchallenged.

The promise, proven

Legendary Swiss pilot Urs Haari completed one of the longest flights ever achieved on an EN-A paraglider — proving over more than 10 hours in the air that the AONIC 2 delivers exactly what it promises.
Starting from Fiesch, he flew a 244 km FAI triangle at an average speed of 24 km/h.

“The AONIC 2 is an incredible wing — congratulations!”

Materials

Robust & cleverly balanced

For the AONIC 2, every fabric and every line was chosen to ensure that durability, weight, and performance work together optimally:

• Nose upper surface: Porcher Skytex 38 – extremely robust, high tear resistance, excellent porosity values even after years of use.
• Upper & lower surface: Skytex 27 Classic 2 – double-coated, UV-resistant and durable. No slippery silicone coating. The most precious lightweight fabric on the market.
• Internal structure: Skytex 32 Hard Finish – minimal stretch, maximum profile fidelity, even after many flight hours.
• Lines: Combination of long-lasting sheathed main lines and drag-optimized gallery lines, without making line sorting unnecessarily complicated.

Technology is not only in the shape – but also in the material mix.

Result: Reduction of weight – with an even more robust construction.

The AONIC 2 is not only a safe, but also an exceptionally durable companion thanks to high-quality fabrics from Porcher, made in France.
