ATOS VQ

atos vq 006

The ATOS VQ is the new intermediate glider of our successful ATOS series. It took over the proven features of the ATOS VR. However the design focus was rather on relaxed handling than performance. 

 

A slightly shorter span using a “traditional” curved wing-tip instead of the winglets typical for the VR improved roll and turn handling by a wide margin. Together with an adapted spar design and a new, smaller flap we were able to save a remarkable amount of glider weight. Our new all-carbon keel gives the VQ a much better static balance and is a real eye-catcher.

 Further plus: a completely new rigging system makes set-up faster and easier than on all other Atos models.

The DHV certification tests were successfully finished.

North Wing designs and manufactures quality hang gliders from the highest quality aircraft grade hardware and sailcloth. and a wide range of accessories.

At North Wing, our main design criteria is to offer wings that deliver easy handling, making them fun to fly. On our quest for optimal safety, we feel our #1 goal when designing wings is precise control and handling... even at low speeds. When conditions out there get a little rough, we hope you will agree handling is going to be your biggest concern. Our wing designs must pass specific parameters, such as coupled feel in handling between pitch and roll, and a nice gentle stall. These handling pressures must fall within our tough guidelines. We feel these unique qualifications will instill confidence even when flying in turbulent conditions. Countless hours of research in sail, frame, and airfoil design have given our wings one of the largest speed ranges in the industry.

We make Flying Fun!

Built in the USA with the finest quality materials · Designed for safety, performance, and fun!
