Airframe Design
This airframe is engineered for both stability and speed, setting a benchmark for modern performance. It thrives in real-world conditions, allowing you to enjoy your session as the product performs flawlessly.
Outline and Balance
This design uses a low aspect ratio for more stability and reliable power. Stability is increased and the power curve is smooth through the wind range. The special leading edge and the tailored airfoil balance stability in gusty moments, while maximizing upwind efficiency. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a beginner, these updates provide clear advantages.
Pre Twist for Efficiency
The airframe’s pre-twist brings the A-Wing XPS Mk II into its ideal shape once on the water. This ensures a more efficient airfoil. The "double bend" strut aligns with your arms for both power and comfort. Rider fatigue is reduced, and longer sessions are achievable with less strain on your muscles.
Material Innovations
Durability and functionality come first. DLE 160 and 130 materials produce excellent strength while maintaining overall performance. These selections mean lasting sessions and consistent use through many seasons.
Canopy Excellence
Created for optimal performance, this canopy uses Teijin D3 Technoforce fabric. The special Cross Panel Sail structure provides both resilience and durability. Riders will appreciate added strength for repeated use, season after season.
Cross Panel Sail and Armstrong Wing Innovation
Drawing on sailing heritage, Cross Panel Sail (XPS) tech controls distortion and boosts rigidity. The canopy panels are precisely positioned at ideal load angles. Expect a powerful, connected flight experience each session.
Clear Windows for Safety
Transparent TPU windows on the strut improve horizontal vision. These windows are lightweight and resist cracking and yellowing, ensuring you always ride safely and can see clearly.
Battens Minimize Flutter
Detachable carbon fibre battens at the trailing edge reduce flutter in the canopy. Quick adjustments mean you can tune the product for changing wind quickly and efficiently.
Selected Materials
Only the top materials are selected for the canopy. The Teijin D3 Technoforce stands out for maintaining tight tension and a smooth ride. With added DLE 130 panels and strict inspections, the canopy is built to endure and provide quality over time.
Innovative Handle Choices
The Dyna-Link interchangeable handle system features both dual handles and a boom. The system allows easy, hardware-free assembly that is quick and practical. Each handle is pre-aligned to enhance balance and rider comfort throughout every use.
Armstrong Wing Modular Adaptability
Select carbon handles, a carbon boom, or hybrid carbon handles to meet your needs. Each size scales to fit, with round core handles wrapped in textured EVA for comfortable grip and direct control. The hybrid handle option blends an original flat design with the Dyna-Link improvements. Security is ensured with stitched harness loops on the strut.
Dyna-Link Simplicity
Dyna-Link excels with strong, simple reliability, reducing wear and stress. Carbon fibre handle towers attach by hooking into Dyneema anchor loops. Install or remove handles while the strut is deflated; secure them by inflating. A brand new pressure system supports both leading edge and strut for the Mk II.
Anchor Placement
Anchor points are tuned for balance across various sizes. Every spot is chosen for best consistency, removing any guesswork when using the A-Wing XPS Mk II.
Grip and Comfort
Enjoy a secure "Goldilocks" grip thanks to EVA-wrapped carbon fibre cores that are just the right size. This grants control and comfort, so you can ride for hours without losing feel or command.
Each Armstrong Wing A-Wing XPS Mk II ships with a robust bag, a leash, and rigid handles for your setup..
