Detailed description
"The Rid'Air team's opinion: The Level Wings Falcon is a lightweight, high-performance EN-B wing, designed for ambitious pilots looking to progress in cross-country flying while maintaining reassuring passive safety. We recommend it to intermediate to advanced pilots with SIV experience and who fly regularly, who will appreciate its intuitive handling, thermal efficiency, and ability to link transitions brilliantly. It's also an excellent choice for those looking to step down from an EN-C without sacrificing performance."
A word from the manufacturer
The FALCON is a carefully designed wing for pilots looking to take a step up in performance while retaining the passive safety and peace of mind of an EN-B certification, with high-end flight capabilities. It offers an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and accessibility. The FALCON is intended for recreational and cross-country pilots — progressing or already experienced — who are looking for a high-performance, comfortable, and intuitive wing. It will also appeal to pilots wishing to transition from an EN-C wing to a more intermediate and easy-to-fly wing, without sacrificing performance.
Technologies & Innovations
Thanks to a meticulous selection of 100% Porcher Skytex materials and a refined internal structure, the overall weight of the FALCON is significantly reduced. This lightweight design and increased agility improve inflation in light or strong winds, facilitate ground handling, and contribute to more precise and intuitive piloting in all flight conditions.
- 2.5-Line Architecture: Performance and Ease
The FALCON features a 2.5-line architecture, offering an excellent balance of performance, stability, and ease of use. This advanced design improves overall glide and profile consistency while maintaining healthy and reassuring behavior. Rear riser control is effective and allows for precise adjustments. - Exceptional Handling and Thermal Comfort
The FALCON stands out for its intuitive handling and remarkable maneuverability. The brake action is progressive, precise, and not tiring, allowing for efficient flying for hours. Turning is instinctive, stable, and easy to adjust, offering real pleasure in thermals. - Speed and Efficiency in Transition
Thanks to optimized speed, especially when accelerated, the FALCON excels in transitions. In accelerated flight, it maintains excellent profile solidity and very high glide efficiency, allowing for confident and effective cross-country progression. Efficiency is further improved by the absence of winglets on the upper surface, reducing drag without compromising passive safety.

Safety & Certification
The Level Wings Falcon is a high-performance EN-B wing that requires solid piloting experience. We strongly recommend having SIV (Flight Incident Simulation) experience and flying regularly (at least 50 hours per year) to fully exploit its potential safely.
The FALCON is EN-B certified, guaranteeing an excellent level of passive safety for its category. Its healthy and reassuring behavior, even in turbulent conditions, allows pilots to focus on flying and performance.
