Our Philosophy

Speed-flying is a completely new sport and therefore we must understand that everyone practicing it this year is a beginner. For this reason, we have striven to make the Bullet as accessible and enjoyable as possible for the new pilots who will be taking up the sport this year.

During the course of our testing, we realized that our first prototypes and the current wings on the market for speed-flying fell short of what we considered to be acceptable in terms of ease of use and comfort. Because these wings are so small and so dynamic, total beginners found it difficult to be confident with the high speed and dynamic handling that is inherent in the nature of these wings. As a result of this, we have designed the Bullet to be safe and easy to use in all respects.

We are not at all interested in pushing the limits of performance and speed in this sport, as we see this leading in the wrong direction and potentially to the failure of the sport.
