AONIC by NOVA: Take your skills to the top of the EN-A class
A high-performance and intuitive EN-A paraglider
The AONIC by NOVA redefines EN-A standards by offering a unique combination of performance, agility, and passive safety. From the very first training sessions, it supports pilots in their progression while maintaining a level of performance that will appeal to the most ambitious. With 49 cells, an aspect ratio of 5.17, and a reduced line layout, the AONIC provides sensations similar to higher-category wings, without compromising safety.
A wing to grow with you
Designed to evolve with the pilot, the AONIC offers intuitive, precise handling and reassuring behavior, even in active thermal conditions. Thanks to careful optimization of materials and design, it remains versatile and durable: ideal for early SIVs, thermal flying, light cross-country, soaring, or travel. This is a wing built to last well beyond initial training.
Freedom to explore all disciplines
With the AONIC, you can rack up flight hours while exploring different types of flying. Whether you're aiming to move on to EN-B or prefer to stay in EN-A to specialize in hike&fly, acro, or XC, this wing is a solid choice. Its versatility makes it a wing many pilots keep, even after expanding their skills.
Designed for simplicity and safety
Every detail of the AONIC has been designed to simplify your pre-flight setup:
- Sheathed lower lines and reduced upper lines for easier untangling.
- Strategic use of Dyneema and Kevlar for strength, stability, and line finesse.
- Dedicated risers with clear markings to assist maneuvers such as big ears.
- PMA color coding for intuitive reading: A in red, B in yellow, C in blue, brakes in orange, stabilo in green.
NOVA recommends pairing the AONIC with the versatile VENTUS harness.
Custom risers for training
The AONIC can be ordered with “school” risers using 20 mm webbing (instead of the standard 12 mm), making untangling and handling easier during preparation and inflation. These risers come with NOVA's Adjustable Handles, developed in collaboration with the DHV, for even more intuitive control.
Who is the AONIC for?
The AONIC is for pilots looking for an accessible yet exciting wing. It’s ideal for:
- Advanced students developing ground-handling skills.
- Pilots wishing to remain in EN-A while enjoying solid performance.
- Those looking for a safe, versatile, and progressive wing.
The accelerator is efficient, with minimal glide degradation for an EN-A. For optimal comfort, NOVA recommends flying in the middle of the weight range.
