Speed Wings : Built for steep alpine descents, high-speed proximity flying (flying close to the terrain), and speedriding with skis.Size: Ultra-compact and the smallest of the three (typically under 14 m²).Design: Features high wing loading, shorter lines, and often a monoconvex or open leading-edge profile to maximize collapse-resistance at high speeds rather than glide performance.Flight Style: Fast, dynamic, and steep, requiring large landing zones due to high landing speeds
Mini Wings: Designed as versatile, scaled-down gliders used for strong-wind soaring, hike-and-fly adventures, and general recreational fun.Size: Larger than speed wings, but smaller than full-sized paragliders (typically 14–19 m²).Design: Essentially scaled-down paragliding wings. They retain normal paraglider-like handling but fly faster and feel more dynamic.Flight Style: Highly agile with a wider speed range than a classic paraglider, yet still capable of thermalling and ridge soaring in higher winds.
Parakites: Optimized for high-wind soaring, coastal/ridge carving, and maintaining control in turbulent or windy conditions.Size: Moderate size, roughly comparable to mini wings (around 10–26 m²).Design: Uses a specialized reflex or semi-reflex airfoil profile (borrowed from speed and paramotor wings) that allows the pilot to dramatically alter the wing's pitch and angle of attack in flight without relying on a traditional speed bar.Flight Style: Offers exceptional stability at high speeds and low angles of attack, a massive speed range, and a powerful flare for landing safely in bumpy or strong winds.
