The ultimate school wing:

·        Designed for teaching success

·        Incredibly safe and solid

·        Easiest launch we have ever seen

·        Based on fifteen years of student-wing development

·        Unparalleled ease of use, from inflationto flare

The Atom 3 replaces the Element series of intro school gliders. Thisincredibly safe and solid wing is designed for all levels of student trainingfrom first flights to soaring, top landing, thermalling and qualification.Based on what we have learned during fifteen years of basic and student wingR&D. The Atom 3 may be one of the safest and simplest-to-use wings that wehave ever flown, but it is complex in its simplicity. A serious amount of designresearch and testing has been invested into this new wing and after what hasbeen an extensive beta phase of testing, we are very happy with the results.The Atom 3 is sure to become a favourite with instructors and students alike -we believe there is no better wing to learn with.

Particular attention has been made to the inflation behavior andground-handling characteristics. A new concept of significantly shorter overallline lengths and a super-simple riser design help the Atom 3 to make paraglidingas easy as it can be. In nil-wind conditions, the inflation is incredibly easy,occurring with minimal input and without deformation of the chord or leadingedge. Actually, there is no need to even use the A risers; the Atom 3 itinflates with the lightest of forward pressure, yet the leading edge remainsstrong and open even when forced by heavy-handed inputs. There is a good levelof feedback from the risers, allowing the pilot to learn from the position ofthe wing and to make the necessary adjustments. In the lightest of winds, theAtom 3 has a tendency to rest overhead and forgive misguided inputs. Thisquality makes ground handling both fun and safe, and students are more likelyto nail a perfect launch on their first day of training with the Atom 3.

In the air, the Atom 3 is simple to fly. It is roll and pitch damped forsolidity and reliability, with a progressive feel in the brakes for controlledand coordinated turns and an effective flare. The sink rate performance issuited for ridge soaring throughout the safe teachable window. Even in lightconditions the wing is designed to top land comfortably. However, whendesigning this wing, glide performance was the least important considerationand, as a result, students will be less likely to overshoot the landing field.The overall brake range is exceptionally long, with a very slow stall speed,making it very difficult for a student to inadvertently stall or spin. Whilethe Atom 3 is incredibly forgiving, it is also enjoyable to fly, and instructorswill appreciate handling that is agile and precise enough for slow-speed tightlandings and fun demonstration flights. The risers are simple and unclutteredwith an effective but short-range speed system that will help any instructor torelax while guiding pilots through the use of a paraglider’s features.

Certified well within the requirements of EN A, the Atom 3 is availablefor a wide weight range and has all of the crucial ingredients for what wethink is a perfect glider to learn the sport of paragliding. A low price, highdurability, overall ease of use, and uncompromised safety have all combined tomake this glider the favoured workhorse for instructors and schools. The Atom 3is the wing that we would have liked to learn on!

THE CONCEPT

The Atom 3 is the easiest, safest, and simplest glider that Ozone has everproduced. Inflation and ground handling behavior is critical and no compromiseshave been made in this department.

·        Dependable workhorse for schools andinstructors

·        Low cost

·        Wide useable weight range

FEATURES

·        EN/LTF A certification.

·        Durable cloth: Dominico 30D. This clothhas proven to retain its visual characteristics better than any cloth -knowntoday, and its mechanical characteristics are almost unparalleled fordurability and longevity. This cloth is the perfect solution for a wing thatreceives such heavy use.

·        Simple 3 riser system with split-Astabilo.

·        Short overall line lengths for pitch androll stability, improved inflation and ground-handling behaviour

·        Long extended brake range for maximum easeof use.

·        Ultimate in launch simplicity andground-handling.

·        Maximum passive safety.

·        Designed, tested, and endorsed by veteranparagliding instructors.
