“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” Leonardo da Vinci

In accordance with Sup’Air tradition, the choice of materials and construction methods ensures high durability and will guarantee many flying hours in total safety for the owner.

The wide certified weight range (from 120kg to 220kg) offers great versatility in all flight configurations whatever the conditions.

For optimal control, trimmers either accelerate or slow the glider down. They are fitted on a double strap and produce a softer sensation, in particular for the passenger, and to reduce the effort in pulling them down. They attach to the bottom of the riser with a magnet to stop them flapping in the wind.

The SORA is also fitted with brake tabs adjustable in height, so pilots of all sizes may fly it in total comfort.

Big ears stay in place thanks to a dedicated blocker, which is located facing the pilot for better control and safety. A new wingtip clean-up system will help remove stones and twigs from the glider more easily.

The positioning of rods reinforcing the profile has been especially designed in order to prevent friction on the upper surface thanks to a “buffer zone”, in order to prevent early ageing and guarantee high durability.
