The VORTEX is the lightweight champion in the EN-C 2-liner class. It excels in everything that defines efficient XC flying: high performance combined with minimal pilot workload.
Please note: due to the two-liner design of the VORTEX, the B3 stall is an effective descent technique, but classic big ears also work perfectly. More on this in the FAQ.
Efficient right down to the risers. The risers of the VORTEX are very manageable and are made of 7 mm wide, Kevlar-reinforced webbing.
The Height-Adjustable B-Handles (HAB-Handles) are known from the XENON: They are made of carbon and can be height-adjusted to five levels. This allows you to optimally adjust the position of the handles to your size and harness geometry. The individual adjustment of the B-handles enables more effective glider control in accelerated flight.
The VORTEX (EN C/LTF D) is aimed at XC pilots with a passion for hike-and-fly who want to experience the extraordinary performance and high safety of an EN-C two-liner. Pilots with significant experience in the high-B segment, such as those comfortable with the MENTOR 7, will quickly adapt to the VORTEX. It is an accessible and easy-to-handle 2-liner glider.

"First flights on the production version of the Vortex were amazing! Been flying the first prototype since last spring, and it was my go-to wing for my Pakistan project in the summer. The final version? Super compact, insanely easy to fly—perfect for combos and cross-country. A wing that lets you focus on the flight, not the flying, with killer performance for its class!"
Fly with Aaron the VORTEX on Instagram.
"The perfect wing to get into 2-liner flying! Its low aspect ratio provides plenty of passive safety without compromising the flying experience – just the way you want it. Even in stall maneuvers, it behaves as forgivingly as a 3-liner. For me, that means relaxed flying, more confidence in accelerated flight, and simply staying on bar longer. Everything you need for longer distances. And the best part? It’s one of the lightest in its class – perfect for hike-and-fly adventures!"
At the beginning of March, Ferdi managed an extraordinary flight in Bassano: he completed a flat triangle over 169 kilometres - the longest distance ever flown from there at this time of year (2025).
"My first XC flight with the Vortex – NOVA’s new ultralight XC machine! Effortless handling and noticeably more efficient in weak thermals compared to the Codex. A fantastic wing for pilots looking to step into the world of 2-liners in the C category."
He was one of the first pilots to fly the VORTEX in strong thermals while searching for records in Kenya, further highlighting its exceptional performance in challenging conditions. On his first flight, he flew 259 kilometers – just two days after setting the Kenya record with the CODEX.

我们的意思是，比方说，镍钛合金。这种材料在叠伞时可以被弯折，但它始终会恢复原始形状。这一特征可谓非常有用！在滑翔伞方面，高品质的镍钛合金取代常见的尼龙材料，它们更加坚固，并能保证最佳的翼型轮廓。在座袋方面，镍钛合金与其他设计被运用起来，来让空气保护囊在起飞前就充满空气。
两组绳伞的一个明显优势是，由伞绳引起的阻力降低了。更重要的是，稳定性得以提升，且拥有B组转向巡航的可能性。B组手柄可直观快速地增大攻角，而不会使翼型变形。相应地，跟三组绳伞相比，两组绳伞在活跃空气中可以飞行得更快。
NOVA Air Scoop进气口优化了空气的进入方式，从而提升伞翼内部气压。NOVA的Air Scoop进气口原理与跑车的空气冲压进气管相似：利用增加的空气量来产生更高的气压。滑翔伞内部更高的气压意味着结构稳定性和抗塌陷性能的提升。
就像用一张纸去包裹一个球形，纸面总会有褶皱一样，滑翔伞的伞鼻也面临同样的情况——伞衣要满足剖面翼形和球面效应（气室是弧形而非直线型的）的双重需要。双层3D塑形技术采用额外的一层缝线来减少折痕，以此提升伞翼性能。
每一个NOVA滑翔伞都自动拥有一整套额外的服务与保障。当您购买伞具时，您获得的不只是产品本身¹。
在伞具使用初期，伞绳第一次经受真实飞行状态的考验。不管使用哪一种伞绳材料，这个阶段伞绳都可能发生拉伸或缩短。通过NOVA Trim Tuning²（NTT伞形修正），我们用软件对伞具变形进行分析，测算出需要修正的参数。伞形修正既确保伞具安全，又提升飞行乐趣。
“NOVA全服务”不只是一次检查。就像“NTT伞具修正”一样，我们分析伞绳长度，以确保整个伞翼都被调整到了最佳伞形状态。这是对伞翼的一次全面健康体检。我们的“NOVA全服务”让您对爱伞充满信心。
如果您的伞接受过“NTT伞具修正”服务，下一次检查的时间就从两年延长到了三年。满两年的检查相应地变成满三年检查。这让您拥有多一年的无忧飞行。但请注意伞具说明书里规定的最大飞行小时数。
标准情况下，NOVA提供三年而非两年的保修。如果您的伞有接受“NTT伞具修正”和“NOVA全服务”的话，我们将把保修期再延长一年。让您飞NOVA伞飞得开心。
如果您在myNOVA注册您的伞，它就加入到了我们的“质量保障数据库”。在这个数据库里——登陆myNOVA——您可以下载关于您的伞的所有关键数据。这个数据库也会帮助工作人员能够方便快捷地“一键”了解您的伞。您的爱伞也将得到更全面的“体检”。

The VORTEX is a similar development to the CODEX, with the biggest difference being the B-handle control. The VORTEX offers a more direct and firm feel, providing better support for long flights. You can comfortably rest your arms on the B-handles without reducing speed or performance.
On most paragliders, accelerating while pulling the B-handles increases the angle of attack at the wingtips, which reduces performance. The CODEX is unique in that you can pull the B-handles with minimal pressure and no performance loss. In contrast, the VORTEX provides more precise feedback—you feel the wingtips more directly, and small steering inputs result in significant heading changes.
New pilots transitioning to two-liners often prefer lower B-handle pressure, while experienced pilots tend to appreciate a bit more resistance, similar to CCC gliders. The VORTEX strikes a balance, offering easy handling with moderate B-handle pressure.
Another key difference: the VORTEX does not have a stabilo line running down to the riser. This improves roll stability and reduces drag.
Both the CODEX and VORTEX are lightweight, but if you're looking for the lightest two-liner—go for the VORTEX!
The EN-C certification and pilot requirements remain unchanged.
Yes, you can!
All required certification collapses were initiated using folding lines. These lines add an extra level in front of the A-risers and are not under tension during flight. They are only pulled down when initiating a collapse, similar to how A-risers are used on traditional paragliders.
Folding lines are necessary for inducing collapses on most two-liners. This is especially true for frontal collapses, as pulling the A-lines often just accelerates the glider instead of causing a collapse. However, aside from certification testing and safety training (where folding line collapses are generally safer than real collapses), these lines serve no purpose.
The VORTEX does not have attachment loops for folding lines. Instead, we recommend alternative maneuvers for SIV training. For example:
There’s plenty to learn - even without folding lines!
两组绳伞的优势在于伞绳产生的阻力更小，更重要的是，与加速飞行高度相关的所谓的B组转向巡航。通过它，你可以非常直接地改变伞的攻角，从而应对颠簸。最终，这使得在颠簸空气中的飞行速度比三组绳伞的可能速度更快。
B组转向巡航是说利用可调节高度的B组手柄（HAB手柄）来控伞。用它来替代刹车绳控伞，因而在加速飞行时的俯仰和方向控制不会导致翼型变形，性能也就不会降低。
对称地拉下B3伞绳即可进入B3失速。如果你够不着B3伞绳的底部，你可以抓住（黑色的）动滑轮并把它往下来。继续向下拉，直至伞的两端明显向后弯折，下沉率显著增加。CODEX在这种飞行状态下会保持稳定，直到你松开B3伞绳。在我们所有的测试飞行中，这种操作都被证明是简单而包容的。如果拉下“大耳朵”，我们推荐至少同时加速25%。
组带上碳纤材料的手柄有多个可调节的高度。飞行员可根据上臂长度和座袋几何形状来进行符合人体工程学的调整。调节时，从碳纤管上取下两个盖子，用六角螺母松开螺钉连接，将HAB手柄移动到所需高度，拧紧螺钉并盖上盖子。
The VORTEX has a dynema line deflection. This shortens at the beginning of use within 10 flights. We therefore recommend that after about 10 hours you unloop the corresponding line on the line maillon and lengthen it. The lengthening only has half the effect of the deflection. It results in a slightly slower outer wing. If the low angle of attack on the outer wing does not bother you (frequent undercutting of the outer wing can occur - small side collapses when thermaling), you can also leave the loop in. During your next NOVA Trim Tuning or NOVA Full Service, your wing will be trimmed back to our target values anyway.
A limiter can be installed for competitions such as the SRS. A line is hooked in between the A and B levels and legal participation is possible. For details, please ask for a short instruction from sales@nova.eu, which they will send you.
