Designed by instructors for beginner pilots

The Dudek R&D team gathers many different skills from various nationalities, including experienced production specialists, mechanical engineers as well as highly skilled test pilots. Many of us also share our passion as professional paragliding instructors. As a result, we know very well the qualities required for an efficient beginner wing. For the Halo, the key word that guided us during the development phase was "ease of use". The design goal was to facilitate the work of the instructors by facilitating the apprenticeship of the student. This requested extensive design work involving many numerical simulations. It was followed by numerous hours of trimming on the ground and in the air in a wide variety of conditions and flying spots, notably in the French Alps and in Poland.

Main characteristics

The Halo development resulted in an optimized balance between accessibility, well-trimmed reactivity, and safety. The Halo shows no surprising behavior. It has predictable reactions and calm dynamic motions. Yet, we kept a good level of agility by carefully adjusting the responsiveness to the pilot inputs and reached a very satisfying level of performance for a glider of this class. Attention was given to small details that have strong importance. Among others features, the ears risers are longer, which make them easy to identify and activate. Another example are the handles, which have both magnets and press studs to connect to the risers.

This wing will be extensively used on learning slopes and during ground handling sessions. Therefore, a special focus was given on the material choice to optimize durability. The Dudek team is strongly advising to perform regular ground handling sessions, whatever the level of the pilot. They are fun and will dramatically improve your skills and maximize pleasure at takeoff and in flight!

Targeted pilot

The Halo will be your buddy for your first steps in the paragliding world and was designed to follow your personal progression all the way to thermal flights and local tours. It was designed for beginner pilots and will also perfectly suit autonomous pilots who want to enjoy paragliding with a high level of safety and simplicity
