Who is the AONIC Light for?

An EN-A wing that breaks records
Don't be misled by the certification. In March 2022, Swiss pilot Toni Brügger flew a 214 km FAI triangle with the standard AONIC and a 247 km triangle with the AONIC Light. A remarkable demonstration of this wing’s real cross-country capabilities — well beyond the “school wing” label.
