3-Liner | 49 Cells | 5.17 Aspect Ratio | EN A NOVA AONIC - Take your skills to “A” higher level The high-end EN A paraglider AONIC 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. A fresh breeze for the EN A class. The AONIC paves the way to the upper end of the EN A class. From the first day in the air. It is therefore ideal for ambitious paragliding students - and all pilots who want to consciously hone their skills within the EN A class. Is the change to an EN B wing inevitable at some point? Not necessarily. With an aspect ratio of 5.17, 49 cells and a minimalist line set design, the AONIC offers performance and handling like an EN B class wing, but with a plus in safety. This also makes it attractive for pilots who want to change to an EN A-wing. Good reasons to do this are plentiful. Foremost is the desire for relaxed flying - always, everywhere and without missing anything.Going places together. During the testing phase, special attention was paid to making the AONIC easily accessible and versatile. The AONIC offers intuitive handling, high passive safety and a pleasant pinch of agility and speed - a mixture with a lot of potential for adventure - thanks to its elaborate technical design and optimisation of the material down to the last detail. Anyone who learns to fly with the AONIC will continue to enjoy their glider for a long time after their training is completed. Be it SIV/pilotage, XC flights, travel or simply soaring the local mountain.Keeping all options open. With the AONIC it is easy to gain a lot of flight experience within the EN A class. This is always an advantage - not only if you decide to move up to the EN B class later or if you get to the point where you want to specialise in a particular branch in paragliding. Hike & fly, cross-country, competition, acro - if at any time one of these branches of the sport becomes YOUR passion, then the AONIC is certainly a great first wing to ensure solid preparation. If the broad spectrum of paragliding is still your goal, you never need to part ways with the AONIC.Short and compact New design. The central design element is the sweep, which visually emphasises the aspect ratio of the wing, complemented by a differently coloured banderole on the outer wing. The product and brand name can be seen on the banderoles. What is special about the banderole is that its placement and composition across several cells varies slightly from model to model.3D-Shaping. In 3D shaping, a seam on the upper surface extends over the entire span and reduces the number of folds caused by the curvature over two axes. Two axes, because the sail cloth has to align to the profile form and the ballooning also determines a radius which the cloth also has to follow. What is ballooning? The internal pressure of the glider is higher than the external pressure at almost all points of the upper and lower surface. This determines how the cell inflates. The resulting "bulge" of the cell is called "ballooning".Air Scoop. Air Scoop is the term used to describe an adjustment of the cell opening that ensures that the intake surface is less reduced when flying at high speed. The idea is similar to the ram-air inlet duct on a sports car: the more intake area the more charging and internal pressure. It improves the collapse resistance, particularly in accelerated flight, and simultaneously increases performance. This feature enhances both safety and performance.Weight-optimised cloth. We not only test the sail cloth for durability (high porosity or reduced tear resistance through UV damage or wear) but also for mechanical robustness, for example, stretching. For quality control purposes we regularly take samples during serial production.Simple line set design. The AONIC only has two line galleries: main lines and gallery lines, but there is no middle gallery. This means only very few line elements and as a result, they are very simple to sort.Re-designed risers. The AONIC risers are a combination of the risers used on our well-established PRION and ION models. From the former, we took the distinctive colour-coding (big ears, B-line stall), and from the latter the somewhat narrower and lighter material.Ergonomic brake handles. We first developed the new brake handles for the MENTOR 6, and they have been so popular that they also feature on the AONIC. The new brake handles have an ergonomic design and are comfortable to handle.Technical Data Scope of Delivery NOVA Stuff Sack NOVA Riser Bag NOVA Windsock Repair Kit User Manual NOVA 4 Years WARRANTY On Materials We guarantee your paraglider for an additional three years*, covering materials and workmanship. If your wing undergoes NOVA Trim Tuning and a NOVA Full Service by an authorised NOVA partner, the guarantee extends to four years*. If repair isn’t possible, we will deduct the current value when purchasing a new NOVA paraglider. NOVA 3 Years No Full Service Required If your wing receives NOVA Trim Tuning, the standard two-year service check extends to three years (from the date of purchase), as long as you stay within the flight hours specified in the manual. This lets you focus on what you love—flying! NOVA Trim Tuning Over time, glider lines stretch or shrink, affecting performance. Typically, A and B lines stretch while C lines shrink, making the wing slower and less agile. NOVA Trim Tuning (NTT), developed with instructor and mathematician Ralf Antz, restores optimal performance. After 15-20 flight hours, send your wing to us or an authorised partner for measurement and trimming. Wings with NTT qualify for the 3-Year No Check Required guarantee. NOVA Full Service Our NOVA Full Service is more than a routine check—it ensures your glider is in top condition. We assess porosity, line lengths, and trim using our advanced Quality Assurance Database (QAD). All measurements are recorded, allowing technicians to make precise adjustments. This system helps us refine our designs for better safety and performance. NOVA Quality Assurance Database Your glider’s history is digitally stored in our QAD. Registering at MyNOVA grants access to all service records, including Full Service logs and Trim Tuning data. This system also helps us monitor material durability and improve future designs. NOVA service centres use QAD to assess your wing before servicing, enhancing knowledge transfer for better safety. NOVA Registration & Query Register your wing under the MyNOVA tab on the NOVA website to activate extended warranties and guarantees. You can book the service here. The lead time for the service is 3 months. Turnaround for the service work is 1-2 weeks. https://forms.gle/EskshqFdwcvPDB7q8 More details on the manufacturer's website under the Service tab: NOVA You have to have the training and a licence to fly a paraglider. Check with your instructor if you are buying your first paraglider.
