Nova GLITCH

The acro wing born from five years of work with Théo de Blic

The GLITCH is Nova's acro and freestyle wing, developed over five years with multiple champion Théo de Blic. From the first almost unflyable prototypes emerged a refined machine, capable of performing all figures — including the stall to infinite — with a surprisingly low wing loading.

Designed for acro competition

Fifty-five cells, an aspect ratio of 5.5: the GLITCH combines the energy and precision demanded by modern acro with a consistency that forgives — as much as an acro wing can forgive. Clean rotations, generous recovery, reproducible behavior trick after trick: this is the tool with which Théo aims for the biggest podiums.

A range of sizes for acro and freestyle

Sizes 16, 18, 20 and 22 (flat surface) cover everything from light acro pilots to sturdy builds who want dynamic freestyle; the radical sizes 13 and 14.5 are produced on demand. Contained weight: 4.4 kg in size 16.

Cyrille's advice: let's be clear, the GLITCH is for experienced acro pilots who practice their figures over water, with a reserve (or even a double reserve) on their belly. If you're coming out of a first SIV course with desires for infinit, it's too early — go for a calmer freestyle wing and come back to us in two seasons.
