omega 8 – ready for take off


Finally for all hardcore Advance pilots, the new Omega 8 is finished for delivery

The development of our new high-end cross-country glider is finished. The first test wings will be available to our dealers around the middle of June.

The new OMEGA builds on the proven three-line concept of the 2009 World Champion’s glider and the X-Alps prototypes. You can see that this latest ADVANCE flag-carrier has evolved from past sporting successes. With an aspect ratio of 6.8 and a useable top speed of 59 km/h the OMEGA 8 is the best performer in its class.

The Omega 8 really plays its big trump cards when life gets more difficult – specifically in accelerated flight in rough air. This glider provides its pilot with a remarkably reassuring feeling in flight, thanks to its familiar and unmistakeable ADVANCE handling, when combined with exceptional performance figures. The weight of the wing has been reduced to hardly 6 kg (27 size) thanks to a new structure, a careful mix of materials, and nylon wires in the leading edge. Impressively agreeable takeoff behaviour (for this class) rounds off the product perfectly.”
