45th COUPE ICARE – NEWS
The 45th edition of the Coupe Icare was, as always, an exciting amalgam of industry news, old friends and new, and swarms of flying humans, all joined together in the beautiful village of St Hilaire du Touvet, France.
This year we announced several new products that will be arriving in 2019:
Swift 5
Lightweight Sport-Intermediate Performance
The Swift 5 takes all of the performance of the Rush 5, transformed into a technologically advanced lightweight form. The lighter sail elevates the Swift 5 in the class, yielding higher overall performance with crisper and more agile handling thanks to reduced sail inertia.
Mantra M7
The Next Generation of Ultimate 3-Liner
The M7 is based on the now legendary ZENO, but with a reduced aspect ratio of 6.5. Compared to the ZENO, it is less demanding in strong air and more cohesive in turbulence. Certified EN D because of the use of collapse lines for testing, the M7’s character is more similar to the class below. It is a truly comfortable high performance wing. In Russ’s words: “It is literally the best handling wing I have ever flown. The feel through the brakes is close to perfect, with precise and agile handling.”

The World’s Lightest Aircraft

VESO OVCHAROV SETS NEW INFINITY WORLD RECORD
On September 20th, our friend Veso Ovcharov set a new Infinity Tumbling World Record in the North of Bulgaria. He was flying his OZONE SESSION 17m.
With the help of a hot air balloon, Veso reached an altitude of 6500m before he performed a roll-over exit from the basket to begin the attempt. After nineteen minutes, he had completed 612 consecutive tumbles, setting a new world record.
Veso says of the Session 17m: “It flies stable and doesn’t need major corrections, just resting on the risers. In maneuvers it almost doesn’t bend at all”
Congrats Veso for an amazing achievement, and cheers from all the OZONE Team.
