Firebird Raven EN B paraglider
The Raven is Firebird‘s new high-end EN B paraglider. Inspired by its namesake, the ‘master of thermal flight’, Firebird say the Raven “climbs high effortlessly, turning smoothly, biting into thermals and centering them with ease”. They add that it also has great passive safety.
The graphic on the Raven is striking – a brightly coloured raven shape on a black and grey glider – making the wing unmistakable in the air. Its grey leading edge is made from Firebird’s specially-developed zero-porosity material. The A risers are wider than the Bs, Cs and Ds, making them easily identifiable. There is a special ‘handle’ that is longer than the standard brake handle, which can be used to rest your arms on long glides or to give you more power for acro manoeuvres.
The YouTube video above, where the Draco Volans team introduce us to the Raven, proves what the company say about its ability to perform SAT, helico and wingover.
All sizes (covering 65 – 125 kg) are certified EN/ LTF B.
