Renewed AR, Arch, Airprofile & Wingtip

Explore Updates

Re-designed
wingtip

The newly optimized tip shape has undergone structural enhancements, resulting in a stiffer component that significantly amplifies the direct response to bar input. Additionally, the updated aerodynamic design ensures improved stability in gusty conditions.

next

Increased
Aspect Ratio

Gen4 features an increased aspect ratio and thus larger projected area, providing a efficient power/m2 ratio. This update enhances the low-end performance and offers massive amounts of lift.

next

Re-designed
Arch Geometry

The slightly opened redesign of Gen4's Arch contributes to an improved lift ratio and increased Arch stability. Meanwhile, the response speed and kite loop ability remain excitingly strong.

next

Updated
VX4.8 Airprofile

Gen4 features our latest air-profile, providing an aggressive forward drive, a steeper upwind angle and the ability to send your kite to zenith with higher velocity. These parameters combined result in increased lift, elevating your jumps to new heights.

next

Lighter
Airframe & Canopy

By restructuring the canopy and leading edge, the Gen4 is 8.4% lighter. This achievement is made without compromising on durability, as we maintain the integration of time-tested, proven, durable fabrics.

next

20%
Shorter Bridles

Gen4 debuts with a 20% shorter bridle design, tuned to the edge. Through the use of computational bridle simulation, the bridle-load distribution has been progressively linear, ensuring consistent handling and feel across all kite sizes.

9.2(L/D)
Aerodynamic
Performance

Scoring a lift-to-drag ratio of 9.2. Vulture Gen4 is our most efficient and lifty kite design to date, ready to achieve record breaking heights.

L/D ratio typically refers to the Lift-to-Drag ratio. It is a measure used to assess the efficiency of an flying object in generating lift compared to the amount of drag it produces. A higher L/D ratio indicates a more efficient design.
