Enquire about this wing

The Ride 4 is AirDesign's current tandem wing, developed for tandem as a full-on tourist machine in demanding conditions: snowy tailwind launches, strong spring thermals, windy take-offs and no-wind landings in tight spaces. Its Short Line Concept gives one-step inflation and easier take-offs, more agile and precise handling and a better landing flare. A more pronounced arc improves turn initiation and structural cohesion in strong conditions, the 4-liner concept lets the new, more stable profile accelerate more effectively with lower brake pressure, and winglets add roll stability and easier spiral exits. Two sizes, both EN-B: M (40 m²) for 110–220 kg and L (43 m²) for 120–235 kg take-off weight, each tested across its full certified range. Opening the trims adds about 9 km/h. Built for professional tandem pilots — AirDesign states it is not suitable for training or school use.

For intermediate pilots with 50+ hours and formal instruction. EN-B wings balance safety with performance — suited for XC flying, moderate conditions and gradual skill progression.

About EN-B Class

EN-B spans a wide range — from low-B (close to A-class safety) to high-B (approaching C-class performance). Collapses require some pilot input to assist recovery.
