The new Tandem Wing from
Like all Axis gliders, it is easy to inflate and fun to
fly.
When setting out to design this new tandem
glider Axis had a clear target: They wanted to create the best tandem
paraglider possible for recreational and commercial tandem pilots.
Pilots who want maximum comfort and enjoyment with minimum stress,
performance with sensitive handling, but who rightly demand ever more
security.
The Axis Sirius is an intermediate glider.
Certified EN-B: "(Paragliders with good passive safety and forgiving
flying characteristics. Gliders with some resistance to departures
from normal flight)".
Designed for pilots who want to be relax and safe in the air and it
offers a feeling of security to its passengers.
