AirDesign Vivo 2: Elevate Every Flight With Confidence and Clarity
Precision-Engineered for Real Pilots, Real Adventures
The AirDesign Vivo 2 is the ultimate answer for pilots seeking a balance between performance, safety, and pure joy. Designed with purpose and piloted by passion, this wing builds on the success of the original Vivo by pushing innovation into new territory. Whether you’re fresh off your first flights or ready to transition from low B to high B class gliders, the Vivo 2 welcomes you with unmatched stability, intuitive handling, and lightweight efficiency.
AirDesign Vivo 2 Smooth Handling With Purpose-Built Performance
Unlike many mid-level gliders that compromise agility for passive safety, the Vivo 2 delivers both. As a result, you experience direct handling, cohesive energy retention, and smooth turns—all while benefiting from AirDesign’s renowned stability. Moreover, the optimized arc and refined line layout ensure aerodynamic purity across the speed range.
Because the Vivo 2 was developed for real-world flying conditions, it maintains coherence in thermals, cross-country transitions, and even strong valley winds. Consequently, pilots feel empowered, not over-challenged, as they push boundaries.
Key Highlights of the AirDesign Vivo 2:
- ✅ Certified EN-B with emphasis on passive safety
- ✅ Lightweight yet durable construction using Skytex 38 and 32
- ✅ Seamless inflation and quick launch in all wind conditions
- ✅ Highly responsive brake input with progressive feedback
- ✅ Compact packing volume ideal for hike-and-fly missions
- ✅ Wide certified weight range to accommodate all gear setups
- ✅ Clean, minimal line configuration for reduced drag
- ✅ Excellent glide performance for its class
- ✅ Enhanced internal structure for long-term shape retention
- ✅ Inclusive design approach—supportive of a diverse pilot base
Designed to Inspire Progress and Confidence
Soaring with the Vivo 2 isn’t just about performance metrics. It’s about trust. With this wing, confidence builds from the first inflation to the last top landing of the day. Furthermore, the Vivo 2’s pitch stability means you’ll enjoy a calm, centered feeling even during active conditions.AirDesign Vivo 2
In addition, this model’s brake travel range has been fine-tuned to support newer pilots while still satisfying seasoned fliers who demand precise wingtip authority. Therefore, transitioning into the Vivo 2 from a school glider feels natural and rewarding.
AirDesign Vivo 2 Ideal for XC Training and Everyday Freedom Flying
Not only does the Vivo 2 serve as a daily flyer, but it also excels in cross-country development. Indeed, its glide performance allows you to stretch your horizons with fewer limitations. Meanwhile, efficient climb characteristics in thermals help you maximize each rising column of air.
Furthermore, its overall weight—significantly lower than many gliders in its class—makes it a viable option for hike-and-fly adventures. As a result, the Vivo 2 adapts fluidly to your lifestyle and evolving goals.AirDesign Vivo 2
Exceptional Launch Behavior in Varied Terrain
Another standout feature is its reliable takeoff behavior. From grassy slopes to alpine ridges, the Vivo 2 inflates symmetrically and rises without delay. Therefore, you can expect fewer failed launches and greater confidence during solo sessions or expedition-style flights.
Additionally, because the lines and risers have been designed with a balance of strength and lightness, the wing remains easy to manage without sacrificing reliability. Even in low-wind or crosswind conditions, the Vivo 2 comes overhead effortlessly.
Thoughtful Construction, Built to Last
When designing the Vivo 2, AirDesign focused on long-term durability without sacrificing portability. By integrating Porcher Skytex 38 on the leading edge and Skytex 32 on the rest of the canopy, the result is a wing that resists wear while staying light.
Also, high-quality lines and reinforced stitching contribute to the wing’s impressive longevity. Consequently, it continues to perform consistently across seasons and skill levels.
Empowering Pilots of All Backgrounds
Inclusivity is more than a goal—it’s a design principle. The Vivo 2 adapts to a wide pilot spectrum. Whether you’re returning to flight after time off or advancing into new airspaces, this glider makes your progression smoother and more rewarding.
Moreover, the wing’s broad certified weight range means it supports different body types and gear loads. As a result, pilots from various physical and skill backgrounds can take advantage of its thoughtful design.

AirDesign Vivo 2- #sunnysoul
Alice was heading to the take-off. She knew the pathway like the back of her hand.
Conditions didn’t look that ideal, the sky was a bit grey, and the wind was very light or cross. Was the streak of bad luck still on? This morning, the cat had woken her up by sitting on her face, her toasts had burned, and Alice had walked in her socks on the wet bathroom floor…what a bad start to the day!
And yet jackdaws cartwheeling above the cliffs were telling another story. And she had her new wing on her back, the Vivo 2! After several sessions of ground-handling that felt so joyful, today, she was eager to fly.
This mid-B glider was a blast. Trouble-free untangling. Pretty colors. Easy take-off. Off we go!
The valley was now in the sun and she glided towards a cliff whose wall shone. Alice started to soar the ridge, drawing figures of eight. The softness of the effort on the brakes and the good communication of the wing allowed her to easily optimize the climb. “Now with my height I can close a 360”. Quiet beeps as she tiptoed around each circle as smoothly as possible.
The rays of the sun caressed her face which lit up with a smile. Her chaotic start of the day was totally behind her. She took the direction of the LZ, pushed the speed-bar, and then made some wingovers. Alice forgot about the cat’s claws, the burnt toasts and the wet socks.
“Thank you Vivo” she whispered then she began to sing “Oh, it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you…”
Vivo 2, enjoy every second.
