The strengths of the En-B Hiko :

Accessibility and performance:

The Hiko is an accessible and easy-to-learn wing for progressing pilots, offering superior performance for the category. It also meets the needs of more advanced pilots who enjoy cross-country flying. The Hiko is an intermediate option between school wings and high-performance B wings like the Ikuma.

Intuitive handling

The risers and integrated C2B system, similar to that of the Ikuma 3, allow for more direct and comfortable handling in transition. The Hiko is also very manoeuvrable on the brakes and responds predictably to pilot input, making it a pleasure to fly and efficient in turns and thermals.

Stability and safety

Thanks to the shape of its profile, you can enjoy great comfort and passive safety in all situations, with particular emphasis on pitch stability. You can explore the skies with confidence.

Technical specifications of the Hiko :

Optimised C2B system :

The new riser-integrated C2B system allows this 3-liner to be flown as if it were a 2-liner, which has increased comfort. This allows the glider to be flown and steered without degrading its profile shape, even at high speeds.

Aerodynamic profile :

Based on the profile of our renowned Ikuma wing, it offers remarkable pitch stability. Its advanced design provides high performance, absorbing turbulence efficiently and making the flight much smoother and more comfortable.

Improved DRS integration :

The mini-ribs are integrated directly into the trailing edge, with special slots to incorporate them into the wing seam, achieving a cleaner profile, eliminating external seams and protecting them from wear and tear when in contact with the ground.

More compact thanks to Nitinol :

The distribution of the Nitinol rods on the leading edge has been simplified and optimised to maintain the glider's lightness, durability and compactness during folding.

Stability at any angle of attack :

The application of RAM technology ensures that the internal pressure of the wing is optimal and that the profile maintains its ideal shape in all flight conditions.
