I OTA – Easy Performance
ADVANCE launches the new I OTA Series, a High-Level EN B glider for
ambitious cross-country pilots . Featuring an optimized, low-weight
design, the XC-Intermediate I OTA represents the most accommodat-
ing balance between performance and piloting ease within the en-
tire ADVANCE product range . The high performance capabilities of the
I OTA open the door to the world of long cross-country flights .
New Semi-Light Category
There is now a new category called "Semi-Light" . Thanks to compu-
tationally modelled lightweight-structure design techniques, the I OTA
weighs only 4 .45kg ( 23m2 size ) . And yet the I OTA is a robust and du-
rable product thanks to the material choice of Skytex 32 and 38 from
Porcher Sport . The low weight of the canopy improves takeoff behav-
iour, considerably increases passive safety, and contributes to direct
handling .
Exceptional passive safety
The I OTA features a low minimum flying speed . Approach to the stall
is clearly communicated to the pilot via clearly progressive brake pres-
sure . This is all the result of an optimal air intake design . Low I OTA
canopy mass means low wing inertia, and an overall compact concept
contributes to the reassuring character of the I OTA . All these factors
contribute to the I OTA's high safety level .
Maximum Performance
Detailed simulation and stress analysis enabled us to engineer the
double 3D shaping and surface ballooning to the greatest advantage .
The result for us; an even smoother wing surface and more shape sta-
bility – looked at from every direction . Your result: even more perfor-
mance . The I OTA's balanced compactness and a carefully-chosen
pitch-stable profile mean that you can always make the most of the
wing's potential – in real-life conditions .
