Takeoff and Landing – Easy and Safe. 
Reliable launch behavior is the foundation for a smooth and relaxed tandem flight. The BION 3 rises precisely and dependably overhead in a variety of terrains and wind conditions, impressing with its low lift-off speed. At the end of the flight, its excellent flare potential ensures a safe and gentle landing, even in calm conditions.

Outstanding Flight Characteristics.
A tandem wing must perform flawlessly across a wide weight range - more than any other glider. With low loading, the BION 3 is agile and offers a significant speed increase while maintaining high stability. Under high wing loading, brake pressure remains moderate, and both takeoff and landing speeds stay pleasantly low. The BION 3 delivers uncompromising performance across the entire weight spectrum.

Intelligent Lightweight: Light, Durable, and Everyday-Ready. 
Designed according to the principle "as light as possible, as strong as necessary," we rely on intelligent construction and carefully selected materials. Wherever possible, we use lightweight fabrics, while more durable materials reinforce high-stress areas. This ensures long-lasting durability, high performance, and easy handling - all at a low weight. The BION 3 is lightweight, fully suitable for everyday use, and built to last.

The BION 3 is designed for a wide range of pilots. On one hand, it caters to professional tandem pilots who value easy handling, reliable takeoff and landing behavior, and long durability. On the other hand, it appeals to leisure pilots seeking a high-performance wing that allows them to enjoy safe and relaxed extended thermal flights.

Both pilot groups will appreciate the BION 3’s balanced handling, speed, and glide performance. The new profile excels with outstanding thermal handling when the trimmers are closed. When the trimmers are open, the BION 3 offers exceptionally high speed while maintaining impressive glide performance.

Aaron Durogati:

"In my opinion, the BION 3 is a fantastic tandem glider for professional use. Takeoffs and landings are super easy, just like they should be with a tandem wing. And in the air, the brake pressure is light and comfortable, even when you're circling in thermals."

The 20 mm wide BION 3 riser features Fidlock magnetic buckles, allowing quick and practical fixation of the brake handle and trimmer strap. A clamp for seamless adjustment of the A3 main line ensures effortless holding of Big Ears.

Its lightweight design and compact packing size significantly ease the workload of commercial tandem pilots. Speaking of convenience—the BION 3 comes in a spacious, minimalist pack sack, providing plenty of room for quick and hassle-free packing.
