Skin 3
Outstanding in any situation
Much more efficient in turbulent conditions, headwind and for flying distance. Unlike other single-surface wings, its nature does not influence its flight behavior.
Durable lightness
The wing’s revolutionary new reinforced structure makes it possible to greatly reduce the number of lines and together with the use of semi-light materials makes it light and also durable.
Guaranteed accessibility
An EN B certified wing which is responsive, efficient and stable for greater flying comfort. More fun, more speed and a lot more accessible and simple to fly.

- Easy to quickly recover in the case of any type of collapse.
Easy launch and landing
- The launch is easier thanks to the new self-inflating leading edge. The wing climbs above the pilot without any difficulty.
- Longer brake travel for a smoother flare and a more precise landing.

Niviuk's applied technology
Optimisation of the leading edge
A newly designed self-inflating leading edge combined with a 3DL (3D Leading Edge) facilitates an easier and more straight-forward take off and a faster response and recovery in the case of a collapse. Together with the SLE technology, the wing is more stable across its profile and this also increases its ability to easily reach higher speeds.
New and evolved internal structure
The new combination of ribs and diagonals ensures an optimum distribution of the pilot's weight and also the attachment point loads. The use of Nitinol (TNT) rods reinforces the structure by reducing the weight of the wing and provides the profile with shape memory.
Fewer lines for more performance
A better distribution of the loads allowed us to reduce the lineset by 44%. This contributes to lower overall weight, simplifies the pre-flight preparation and means less drag - for improved performance during all phases of flight.
