The tandem wing designed for both pilot and passenger
Designed for demanding tandem pilots, the BION 3 combines a lightweight yet robust construction with balanced handling across its entire weight range (110 to 220 kg). Easy to launch, stable in flight, and smooth to land, it ensures safe and effortless flights whether in professional or leisure use.
Easy takeoff, smooth landing
Thanks to its low lift-off speed and predictable behavior, the BION 3 rises quickly overhead, even in challenging conditions or on difficult terrain. It stands out for its easy ground handling and offers excellent flare potential, enabling controlled landings even in calm air.
A stable and responsive wing across the full weight range
Regardless of the load, the BION 3 remains consistent. At low takeoff weight, it delivers agility and acceleration while maintaining comfort and stability. At maximum load, it keeps takeoff and landing speeds low, with moderate brake pressure. This consistency makes it an ideal wing for training as well as for professional tandem operations.
Who is this paraglider designed for?
The BION 3 is suitable for a wide range of tandem pilots. On the one hand, it perfectly meets the expectations of professional pilots who value a reliable wing with easy ground handling, predictable launch and landing characteristics, and long-lasting durability. On the other hand, it also appeals to leisure pilots looking for a high-performance wing that allows for long thermal flights in complete safety and comfort.
Thanks to its balanced handling, excellent speed and glide performance, the BION 3 adapts equally well to intensive use and relaxed recreational flying. Its new profile delivers excellent thermal efficiency with closed trimmers, while open trimmers offer high speed without compromising glide.
