IOTA 2 – Efficient Performance
What is your cross country dream? To manage your first 200 kms? To
land in front of your house after a long day's flying, or just set off and
see how far you can get? The IOTA 2 offers you all of the most impor-
tant ingredients for these achievements: efficient performance and re-
laxed piloting in all conditions . The latest technology gives the wing an
outstanding polar curve for its class .
Balanced strength
In terms of performance together with safety the IOTA series is the
most balanced of the ADVANCE glider selection . The IOTA 2 is especi-
ally impressive in accelerated flight with its outstanding glide, high de-
gree of turbulence absorption and manageable extreme flight charac-
teristics . Concern-free accelerated flying becomes the rule, with no
exception – not least because of the C-Handle provision: flight control
by C/B-risers . . . .
Efficient in every respect
The IOTA 2 shows its high level of efficiency not only when gliding th-
rough bumpy air . Its pitch and directional stability also benefits the pi-
lot when thermalling . The canopy stays in the centre of rising air almost
as if by itself – without requiring large corrections . Brake line inputs are
directly and precisely answered; response is smooth, progressive and
logical over the whole control range . This not only saves energy, but
makes thermal flying particularly straightforward .
State-of-the-art all round
The IOTA 2 merges SIGMA 10 development performance-enhancing
technologies with B-Class safety requirements . The Performance-
Intermediate boasts a state-of-the-art profile, and perfectly distribut-
ed canopy tensioning to go with it . Mini-Ribs, C-Wires, double-3D
Diamond- Shaping and Sliced Diagonals are further ingredients of this
high-tech cocktail .
