Ultra-light and ultra competitive: that’s our new racing two-liner. It’s been developed for all those experienced pilots who want to achieve notable cross-country flights, competition rewards, and the mastery of new challenges. The OMEGA ULS is now available in 4 sizes, and impresses athletes by its effortless handling, outstanding flight performance and very low weight starting from 3.05 kg.
The new OMEGA ULS is your ideal companion for demanding adventures and challenging competitions, matching the high standards of the X-Alps Winner 2023. Together we have developed a new high performer, building on the strengths of its predecessors to deliver even greater flight performance and outstanding results, with a better glide ratio over its whole speed range.
We have designed the OMEGA ULS so that you can concentrate fully on those important tactical decisions in flight. Lower control loads combined with noticeably agreeable circling ability contribute to the effortless handling which helps you to fly efficiently. Intensive testing has resulted in a high performer that eats up the kilometres while delivering a pleasantly relaxed feeling in flight.
When preparing for demanding adventures you want to minimise weight and a bulky pack wherever possible. This is exactly what we demand of the OMEGA ULS. The ultra-light inner structure with its high-quality high-tech fabrics make this glider 250 g lighter than its predecessor. An intelligent material mix of high-end Nitinol Wires and ultra-light cloth contribute to the minimal weight and packed volume.
“In the big race, the OMEGA ULS took me to the front efficiently even in tough conditions. So I could cross the finish line faster than ever before.“
“WHAT I ENJOY MOST IS THE LIGHT HANDLING COMPARED TO THE PREDECESSORS. THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR CRANKING UP IN THE TIGHTEST THERMALS DURING THE X-ALPS 2023.”
“I’m very happy with the new OMEGA ULS because is the easiest X-Alps glider I have flown. Looking forward to race with this beauty.”
“IT’S LIGHTER, FASTER, MORE AGILE AND THE BRAKE IS SUPER SMOOTH. IT FEELS REALLY SOLID ON FULL SPEED BAR. THE OMEGA ULS SEEMS TO BE THE PERFECT TOOL FOR HIKE & FLY COMPETITIONS AND FOR BIG ADVENTURES.”
“Launching is simple, it just wants to fly! Brake pressure is perfect. It is also very fast and efficient on bar with an impressive glide, perfect for dealing with a headwind.”
Technology & Features
These ultra-light components are made from a super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy, and provide balanced, chordwise mass distribution from the leading edge across the wing upper surface. These rods significantly reduce both packed volume and overall weight, and resist deformation even under heavy loading.
An intricate internal structure lies at the heart of the OMEGA ULS, and is crucial to its ultra lightweight construction using our Sliced Diagonals technology. After many X-Alps competitions, we have refined our profile fabric reduction technology as far as possible, including the complex diagonal rib structure.Learn more about ULS
OMEGA ULS lines are extremely stable in length and have an above-average ultimate strength, even after long use. The colour-differentiated Pro Dry lines demonstrate 60% higher water repellency. The latest generation of unsheathed lines builds on the advantages of 8000 Aramid lines.
The wing top surface is made of tried and tested Porcher Skytex 27 cloth, and the less vulnerable under surface features extremely compact Dominico DOKDO 10 fabric. This combination of high quality materials makes the OMEGA ULS noticeably easier (fast) to pack, and lighter on the shoulders to carry: performance with lightness.
The Seamless Weight Ranges of the OMEGA ULS make a clear transition from one wing size to the next, so that any pilot suits only one ideal take-off weight range. In this way, the OMEGA ULS guarantees the optimum balance of useful airspeed and climb performance in all flying conditions.
“ADVANCE has built a truly “superior” wing. Its take-off characteristics are outstanding, its thermal handling is fantastic and its stability in difficult flying conditions is exceptional.“
“The Omega ULS, is a light, agile, well-balanced EN-D with a high-performance package. I can only imagine, many pilots aiming for that class will eventually get hooked and will fly the Omega ULS for years to come.”
