Discover the 6th sense with the new U6² — our new pure 2- line competition glider. In 2005 the designer Hervé Corbon alias «Gibus» invented the first flyable 2- line competition glider the «U3²». In 2010 Gibus designed the U5² with more than 33 % less line meter than the U4 2010. Now in 2011 we come up with the new U6². Due to a few changes we were able to enhance the perfomance by far compared to previous models.
The U6² uses a hybrid line system with the Stabilo, this reduces the total line length to a minimum. With the U6 we released the completely new designed wingtips to decrease the induced drag. With these wingtips we get a much higher projected surface and aspect ratio, this leads to a much better climb and better glide compared to previous models.
With the U6² we decided to use lighter materials, this leads to a much better handling in the air and on the ground. A lighter canopy also climbs better and behaves better in critical situations. In the U6² we use many construction details like the AirCross Arc-System², RigidFoil², Mini rips on the trailing edge, a new designed wingtip with less drag and a great performing and flyable profile which makes the U6² to one of the fastest and best performing gliders in competition.
