At the same time, its EN-A certification ensures the highest level of passive safety. Its partially sheathed line set reduces drag and lightens the wing. With its versatile design, the BIRDY2 supports pilots in the long run, providing ample room for progression before considering an upgrade to an EN-B wing Durable yet light design Made from a blend of lightweight and durable materials, the BIRDY 2 balances strength with lightness, built to withstand hours of inflation and ground handling. Developed alongside the upcoming WILD 2—a glider designed for extreme challenges like the X-Alps—the BIRDY 2 benefits from high-performance R&D, including an improved internal structure and an optimised line system, reducing weight significantly. Its ergonomic risers make pre-flight checks easier, and maillons replace soft links for a more user-friendly connection between risers and lines. Safe behaviour Combining high performance within the EN-A category with maximum passive safety, the BIRDY 2 offers the best of both worlds. Playful and responsive during inflation, it quickly helps you develop the right piloting habits and reflexes as you progress. Once in the air, the BIRDY 2 is both intuitive and reassuring. Its precise and balanced turn handling, combined with its forgiving nature, makes it an ideal companion for learning and improving your skills. Designed to help you take your first cross-country flights with confidence, the BIRDY 2 ensures a smooth and enjoyable learning experience. A tailor-made flight experience To get the most out of your glider from paraglider, it's important to be correctly positioned within the Flying weight range range fromglider. This is why the BIRDY 2 is available in 6 sizes instead of the usual 5, allowing you to optimize your positioning within the Flying weight range range. To get the most out of your BIRDY 2, Supair recommend that you choose a Flying weight range where you are in the upper half of the range. Don't hesitate to contact your instructor for personalized advice on your choice of paraglider. The BIRDY 2 has passed double load testing, which means that the smaller sizes have been tested separately from the larger ones, to best adapt to the specifics of each. This makes it possible to use materials and lines adjusted to each size: thinner lines on the smaller gliders s help reduce drag, and therefore maximize performance. The BIRDY 2 has also been developed in size XXS to meet the needs of smaller riders who often have difficulty finding a glider to suit their weight. The 50-65 kg range makes it easier for featherweights to fit into the upper half of the Flying weight range range, and therefore to enjoy an optimal experience under their glider. The perfect wing for long-term progression In summary, the BIRDY 2 is the ideal wing for pilots from their first steps as independent flyers through their early cross-country adventures. With its balance of safety, performance, and versatility, it remains a reliable companion well beyond training. Its optimized design and high-performance innovations guarantee a flight experience tailored to each pilot and every wing size. With the BIRDY 2, discover a new dimension of flying—confidently and with ease. Why size matters With the BIRDY 2, Supair introduce a new XXS size, covering a takeoff weight range of 50 to 65 kg. This new model allows pilots all sizes, including the lightest, to find a glider that suits them perfectly. Why is this important? Your position within the flying weight range has a direct impact on how your glider behaves. Here’s what that means: Lightly loaded glider: Generally flies slower, making it easier to exploit thermals. However, it is more sensitive to turbulence, with more frequent "flashing" movements (usually without consequence). Heavily loaded glider: Flies faster and is more resistant to turbulence. Collapses occur less frequently but can be more dynamic. Higher speed makes thermalling a bit more technical, requiring quicker reactions from the pilot. Supair recommendation For optimal handling, thy recommend aiming for the upper third of the flying weight range. This guarantees Good speed for smooth transitions Increased stability in turbulence Better contact with the glider for precise, comfortable steering. This is why the BIRDY 2 is available in 6 sizes, covering takeoff weights from 50 to 130 kg. Whether you're just starting out or pushing your limits, this range ensures a perfectly tailored flying experience to match your ambitions. A Design Optimized for Lightness and Performance The BIRDY 2 is much more than just a simple progression glider—it incorporates advanced design choices directly inspired by high-performance gliders. A Redesigned Arch The arch of the BIRDY2 has been improved to offer a smoother, less flattened line. Result Effortless inflation – The glider rises smoothly and progressively, without abrupt movements. A playful attitude – Perfect for enhancing your flying enjoyment and refining your control skills. Even stress distribution – The airfoil is less prone to deformation over time, ensuring greater durability. With this optimized design, the BIRDY 2 strikes the perfect balance between lightness, durability, and performance, making it a trusted companion for all your future flying adventures. Design for Versatility The BIRDY 2 is a versatile wing that, among other things, allows you to explore hike-and-fly thanks to its lightweight design. To achieve the perfect balance between reduced weight and durability, the BIRDY 2 incorporates: Carefully selected materials that combine strength and lightness. An optimized internal structure with specific cut-outs that lighten ribs and rods throughout the glider. Reworked diagonals to reduce weight while maintaining a solid structure. An innovative support band that enhances top surface support for better performance and durability. Lightweight yet tough, the BIRDY 2 is ready to take on any challenge, from ground inflation to high-altitude adventures. Doubly Certified, Doubly Optimized The BIRDY 2 stands out with dual certification through load tests, ensuring its behavior and performance are fully optimized from 50 to 130 kg of fying weight range. In fact, the smaller sizes have been load-tested independently of the larger ones, allowing their specific features to be precisely adjusted. This approach enables a tailored adjustment of materials. For example, the smaller sizes benefit from finer lines, which significantly reduce drag. As a result, performance is maximized in terms of handling and speed, providing a refined and perfectly balanced flight experience, no matter which size you choose.
