MASTERY OF FORM...
Exceeding the limitations of weightshift Ultralights, that has always been the goal of AIR CREATION. With the new BioniX, the adjustable configuration wing, a new bridge has been crossed. Load limits, useable speed range limits, the ability to fly in turbulent weather, adaptability to cross country flight, the BioniX goes further, much further.
INNOVATION
In order to achieve such a result, AIR CREATION has come up with a major innovation in the design of the sail to allow it to change its shape in flight, in order to adapt to the configuration chosen by the pilot. This “bionic” adjustment was inspired by that seen in the wings of a bird.…
A patented configuration control, called the “CORSET”, simultaneously directs the twist (washout), the central profile, and the lobe (the spanwise "arch") of the sail. Thanks to it, the BioniX morphs from a peaceful wing to a fast wing by the simple turning of the lever, automatically adjusting the chosen speed, maneuverability, aerodynamic efficiency, and stability.
With the BioniX the pilot can choose precisely to adapt the character of the wing depending on phase of flight and the weather conditions.
AN EXCEPTIONAL LUXURY FOR THE PILOT
Imagine you are cruising along at 70-80 kilometers per hour, the motor purrs at low energy, and you are fully enjoying the feeling of low-speed flight. Turn the configuration control and adjust the power. The sail of the BioniX tightens and adapts to the command, washout disappears, you speed through the air with the same comfort, the same balance. The control bar is well placed, the roll supple but very precise, and the pitch is light whether pushing or pulling. A stop in the countryside? One turn of the lever and the BioniX becomes calm again, you can land in a few meters, with neither stress nor acrobatics. You were dreaming of this? AIR CREATION has made it come true.
EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE
Ergonomic, easy to handle, and stable in all of its configurations, the BioniX benefits from the largest actually useable speed range, and does not fall like a stone once the engine is shut off. And if, at 15m², it does not compete for the title of fastest wing in the world, it can nevertheless hold its own in performance, even when compared to the “small surface” and “topless” wings currently available, while allowing for climb and descent with unequaled handling. In straight flight it is both agile and precise. Its stability and ease of handling in turbulent weather is also absolutely stunning. The BioniX is truly a wing like no other...
