Engineered to Make You Better

Unlike traditional EN-A paragliders that often feel overly docile or sluggish, the PHI CONCERTO gives you a truly dynamic, confidence-inspiring wing that keeps you engaged. Its energy retention is tuned to promote active piloting skills without surprising surges or collapses. Therefore, pilots gain the chance to build their flight technique on a forgiving yet lively platform. As you practice, refine, and extend your skill set, the CONCERTO rewards you with increasing levels of finesse, precision, and enjoyment.

Additionally, the smooth, predictable behavior in turbulence means fewer surprises. After all, pilots should focus on progression, not fighting a nervous wing. Thanks to its balanced internal pressure and rigid profile, the CONCERTO resists unwanted collapses while providing honest feedback, which is absolutely vital for accelerated learning.

 PHI CONCERTO Features That Put Progression First

• Simple Risers
  Cleanly laid out risers with clear markings help new pilots navigate their setup with confidence.

• Well-Calibrated Trims
  Efficient trims match the wing’s intended speed range, keeping performance predictable.

• Responsive Brake Inputs
  Precise control with a wide sweet spot promotes safer maneuvering, even for pilots who are still mastering their skills.

• Compact Packing
  Smart line layout and foldable design reduce pack volume, so you can travel easily to your next training hill or soaring site.

• Color-Coded Lines
  Simplify launch preparation with easily distinguished line groups that make checking your setup intuitive.

Not only do these features promote safe flying, they empower new and intermediate pilots to build good habits from their very first flights. Clearly, PHI has listened to what instructors and students need, and translated those insights into the CONCERTO’s user-focused build.

An Unmistakable Feeling of Harmony

Nothing should hold you back from enjoying the sky. That’s why the PHI CONCERTO delivers an incredibly harmonious flight experience, unifying stability, maneuverability, and passive safety. When gliding through thermals or ridge soaring, you’ll notice the calm, cooperative feel, which reduces pilot fatigue and encourages extended flights. Therefore, you stay fresh and focused for longer, giving you the mental bandwidth to learn and absorb new skills.

Even in changing conditions, the CONCERTO reacts in a way that feels natural and supportive. It feels as though the wing works with you, reading your inputs and translating them faithfully into smooth, comfortable turns. All the while, its generous safety margins act as a trusted co-pilot, stepping in with stability when you need it most.

A Partner for Schools, Clubs, and Personal Progress

The PHI CONCERTO shines in flight schools, where instructors demand durable, trustworthy gear that accelerates learning. Because it has a wide weight range, forgiving flight characteristics, and a strong resistance to wear, the CONCERTO easily handles repeated takeoffs, landings, and countless hours of student practice. Its design encourages consistent launches, which is crucial for helping new pilots gain confidence in ground handling skills.

Similarly, experienced pilots returning after a break will find the CONCERTO a perfect partner for refreshing skills and rebuilding muscle memory. Its responsive yet stable flight characteristics restore confidence while still delivering enough performance to keep things interesting.

Why Schools Love the PHI CONCERTO

• Reduced Maintenance Costs
  Reinforced leading edge and durable cloth protect the wing from rough training environments.

• Quick Progression
  Consistent, predictable inflation and launch behavior mean less frustration for new students.

• Broad Pilot Range
  Accommodates a wide pilot demographic with one wing type, reducing inventory costs.

• Robust Construction
  Quality sewing and rugged lines mean the glider holds up well under frequent use.

Altogether, these qualities make the PHI CONCERTO a top-tier option for organizations that want to offer high-value training experiences while protecting their investment.

Modern Innovation with Proven Foundations

Every PHI product benefits from the brand’s commitment to research and innovation. The CONCERTO leverages aerodynamic advances drawn from higher-rated gliders, but refines them for a much more forgiving handling profile. As a result, pilots get a modern, efficient performance envelope that still prioritizes safety and ease of use.

For instance, the optimized arc and well-balanced cell tension help preserve shape integrity in rough air, while its line configuration reduces drag for better glide. The result? You stay airborne longer with more efficiency, meaning you squeeze maximum adventure from each flight. At the same time, the construction principles ensure the wing’s structure resists aging and heavy school use.

Confidence for Every Flight

From your very first hop to your first cross-country exploration, the PHI CONCERTO supports you every step of the way. It feels like a teacher and a partner, encouraging new skills and forgiving your early mistakes. Importantly, its advanced yet stable flight behavior means you won’t outgrow it too soon. Many pilots find themselves enjoying the CONCERTO’s handling even after they’ve advanced beyond their first license because it stays relevant, responsive, and fun.

Additionally, the wing’s lightweight but durable materials help keep packing manageable. Traveling pilots will appreciate the low-volume pack size, which makes bringing the CONCERTO along for international or remote flying missions much simpler. Since the riser layout stays simple, you spend less time on preflight checks and more time in the sky.

 PHI CONCERTO: best shared performance, maximum safety

PHI team has many years of experience in the construction of tandem paragliders. As a result the CONCERTO offers safety, reliability, robustness and extraordinary usability to best support the professional pilot and make daily tandem flying enjoyable.

Designer’s Note

“Only 3 line sets (ABC), indestructible PPSL for the heavily loaded A and B lines, double zigzag technology, finger diagonals, flexible reinforcements in the leading edge and aerofoil, high quality cloth, a removable bigear tool, very efficient trimmers and a huge weight range.

Everything you want in a tandem wing.”

-Hannes Papesh

Secrets

The main secret of the CONCERTO are his genes. Even with a max weight of 240kg and open trimmers, it is still an A rated wing! The outstanding genes of the SYMPHONIA made this possible. But the CONCERTO is not just an upscaled SYMPHONIA! There have been important changes to adapt the SYMPHONIA concept to the demands of a tandem glider.

Risers

The CONCERTO has only 3 main risers (ABC), with an A2 line to faciliate bigears. The bigear system is removable.
