プロフィール Nova Xenon 3
www.nova.euThe XENON 3 is designed for pilots who demand maximum performance without compromising on reliability and durability. Developed for long XC days and demanding hike and fly competitions, it combines a compact packing volume and low weight with outstanding glide performance and high speed. Its exceptional stability at full acceleration delivers a calm, controlled flight feeling – ideal for efficiently and confidently accessing its glide performance over long distances.
A wing for ambitious competitors and for cross-country pilots who want to achieve big goals efficiently, confidently and with maximum performance.
Who it's for?
The XENON 3 is made for XC pilots who prefer minimal equipment and a small pack volume - but refuse to accept any performance trade-offs.
It is equally at home with ambitious hike & fly competitors who want to race successfully, relying on a wing that delivers proven performance when it matters most.
If your goal is to go far, go light, and stay competitive, the XENON 3 is your tool.
Refined to win
The XENON 2 was developed with one clear objective: to create a high-performance glider for the Red Bull X-Alps.
Under Aaron Durogati, the XENON 2 won the 2025 edition of the race. It proved what it was built for.
And yet - it never went into production.
The XENON 2 was a pure race machine. Developed under intense time pressure to meet certification deadlines, it delivered outstanding performance. But while submitting it for certification, we already knew: especially in handling, there was untapped potential. The performance was there - the refinement was not.
We knew we could do better.
Development story
Why version 3?
Because excellence deserves refinement.
The XENON 3 is not a completely new glider. The canopy itself remains unchanged - the aerodynamic concept that won the world’s toughest hike-and-fly race did not need reinvention.
Instead, we focused on precision improvements:
- Optimized finishing in the leading edge area
- More precise guidance of the Nitinol rods
- Fine-tuned 3D shaping
The result: Even more power, especially in full acceleration flight, and noticeably improved filling behavior.
But the most significant evolution lies elsewhere.
A new brake concept
For the XENON 3, we completely redesigned the brake system.
Each size now features a specifically tuned brake geometry that delivers:
- Direct, precise handling
- Clearly defined brake pressure
- Immediate feedback
- Maximum control
The brake input feels compact and confidence-inspiring - giving you exactly what you need at racing speed: trust.
Not more. Not less. Just control.
The XENON 3 is the glider the XENON 2 was meant to become.
Proven in competition.
Refined for those who demand more.
