The Ronin is AirDesign's single-surface wing for more dynamic, performance-oriented flying. Lighter than the UFO — from 1.03 kg in the smallest 12 m² size — and designed to be flown at higher wing loadings for faster, more direct response. Available in 12, 14, 16, and 18 m², certified EN-B in the two larger sizes and EN-C in the smaller ones. The UFO can be flown by beginners; the Ronin requires real flying experience. For intermediate to very experienced pilots who want speed and directness from their light kit.

Single surface — from 1.03 kg · lighter than the UFO
Higher wing loading than UFO — faster, more dynamic
Certification on this wing ranges from EN-B to EN-C depending on size and wing loading. The permitted pilot level depends directly on which size you choose and your all-up weight.
⚠️ Before ordering, always check the size table on this page. The EN class of your specific size must match your experience level — this is a safety-critical step.
Certifications: EN-B to EN-C
EN-B 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.
EN-C EN-C is for pilots with full SIV training. Collapses require fast, precise pilot input. Higher glide ratio and speed — ideal for competitions and serious XC flying.
