PHI Viola the Universal Paragliding Wing

The VIOLA is an extremely versatile lightweight paraglider: 8 sizes covering a weight range from 50 to 145kg, from the certified miniwing up to an easy hike and fly wing for heavy pilots. The VIOLA 18 can be used as a family glider with a legal weight range from 50 up to 110kg. By using modern technology and new materials the weight per square meter was reduced even more. The risers are made from stable and robust TECHNORA. Choose softlinks or light metal maillon rapides. With the softlinks, the small sizes of the VIOLA (incl. 20) have no pure metal parts at all! (The bigger sizes have a brake reef system with small metal rings.)

Riser Option
PHI Viola is delivered with RZ4 risers by default please let us know if you need help deciding what riser will work best for you or if you know that you prefer the RZ3 Superlight risers. https://phi-air.com/project/risers/ 

The New King of Mini Wings
I’ve flown, tested and sold most mini wings in the search for the best, and once a new best is found, that’s all I fly until it’s superseded. Call me biased if you like, but please try it yourself – it will surprise you! I look forward to your feedback. Review By Alan Hills (SkyWings Paragliding, NZ)

Clean profile with 40 cells, 4.72 flat AR, if you are after an efficient lightweight miniwing that does flat turns and speedy spirals VIOLA miniwing will look after you.

Designer's Note
The weight reduction of the VIOLA over the SONATA is offering even better recovery after deflations and even less dynamic reactions in extreme manoeuvres. So it was possible to raise the max take-off weight by 15kg. This has to be seen as an extended weight range, for pilots who want to fly a highly loaded, small, light and very agile wing, offering extreme fun. The very small VIOLAs are targetting to experienced alpine pilots looking for a very light, fast and good-performing wing, that does not overreact and is behaving very trustworthy in every situation. Over the full range of VIOLAs, the demand is rising with the wing loading. A VIOLA 18 is a very easy and safe school wing loaded with 50kg, as well as high-level sports equipment for experienced pilots at 110kg.

Secrets
The secret to developing extraordinary wings is the passion to fly.
We’re enthusiastic pilots, loving hike and fly adventures.
I have to admit: I built the VIOLA 18 for myself.
