Supair EONA 4 EN-A GLIDER – Confidence in Every Flight
Elevate Your Journey from Day One
The Supair EONA 4 EN-A GLIDER has been crafted for aspiring paragliders who value safety, predictability, and comfort while learning to fly. Developed with both students and instructors in mind, this beginner-friendly glider offers a stable and reassuring experience throughout every phase of training.
Right from your first inflation, the EONA 4 provides unmatched user-friendliness. As a result, new pilots can focus more on skills development and less on equipment concerns. Moreover, instructors benefit from a wing that performs reliably under repeated use without diminishing flight quality.
A Glider That Builds Confidence
Supair EONA 4 Flight Behavior You Can Trust
One of the biggest advantages of the Supair EONA 4 EN-A GLIDER is its incredibly smooth and stable behavior in the air. It has been designed to offer a high level of passive safety, ensuring the wing naturally returns to a neutral position even when lightly disturbed. Consequently, the glider enables newer pilots to feel secure as they learn to navigate the skies.
During takeoff, the wing inflates evenly and rises smoothly above the pilot. Because of this predictability, ground handling becomes a controlled and confidence-building process. Furthermore, once airborne, the glider maintains pitch stability and consistent turn behavior, making each flight feel fluid and empowering.
-
Balanced takeoff characteristics in all launch scenarios
-
Stable pitch and roll behavior during calm and active air
-
Forgiving brake input response to avoid overcorrection
-
Excellent feedback for building core flying skills
-
Predictable turning that supports developing pilots
Supair EONA 4 Built for the Classroom and Beyond
A Wing That Adapts to Your Progress
Although ideal for training environments, the EONA 4 EN-A also supports pilots beyond their school days. In fact, its performance profile is tuned to grow with the user. While simple enough for first flights, it remains responsive and fun during post-school ridge soaring and thermalling.
Flight schools will appreciate its long-lasting construction and ease of maintenance. Meanwhile, independent pilots benefit from a wing that doesn’t need to be retired immediately after training. Therefore, the EONA 4 becomes a glider that supports you through hundreds of hours of learning, practice, and real-world flying.

Understanding your glider
The EONA 4 has just one mission: to let you enjoy your first flights. Smoothness and ease are the watchwords of this new generation of EONA, the ideal school glider.
But where does this indulgent behavior come from? Why is the shift gradual? What are winglets used for?
These terms can seem abstract when you’re just starting out. That’s why we help you understand how your first paraglider was conceived and designed:
THE WINGLETS
This fourth generation is the first to be equipped with winglets on the ends of theglider. These kinds of fins located on the ends of the Airfoil influence the behaviour of the glider and indirectly improve performance.
To ensure the safety of its pilot, a paraglider Dedicated to learning must be a stable spiral. The spiral refers to a rapid rotation around an axis close to theglider. While this is a manoeuvre deliberately used by more experienced pilots to lose altitude, it can sometimes be very fast and generate a strong centrifugal force that must be controlled. If pilots have to learn how to handle this maneuver on the higher performing wings, a glider School must tend to come out of itself without requiring any action from the pilot, this is what is called being stable spiral.
To achieve this, the angle of incidence of the wingtips on paragliders used in schools is increased to generate drag, which slows down the glider if it enters a spiral, causing it to exit and return to flight straight. The disadvantage of this method is that it degrades the straight-line performance of the glider , as the nose-up wingtips constantly create drag.
To enhance the glider’s performance, the winglets are aligned with the airflow at flight and do not create drag. It is when the glider enters a spiral that the winglets generate drag, which has the effect of limiting paraglider ‘s speed in the spiral and helping it to exit and return to flight .
Thanks to the winglets, the performance of your EONA4 is therefore guaranteed while ensuring excellent passive safety with an easy exit from the spiral.
Supair EONA 4 INNOVATIVE STRUCTURE
Whether in terms of performance, riding comfort or even maintenance of the glider, the new internal structure of the EONA 4 makes everyday life easier for the rider.
The internal structure refers to the Fabrics located inside the Cells of the glider and which allow the maintenance of a good Airfoil. This is the “skeleton” of your paraglider.
Cut-outs are made on the inner Ribs / roads . The cut-outs, made using a The cut laser, serve to reduce the glider’s weight. A lighter glider will inflate more easily and have less inertia in its movements at flight. Thanks to these features, the EONA 4 is easy to handle and anticipate, whether for the pilot beginner or the instructor accompanying them.
A stripe has been added to the back of the Airfoil, throughout its scope. Its goal is to homogenize the behaviour of theglider on the entirety of its Airfoil. This characteristic of the internal structure helps to limit the deformation of theglider and ensures consistency between the feathers and the center of the Airfoil. The handling of the EONA 4 is quick and obvious for the neo-practitioner.
Finally, the wingtips have been widened to increase their strength at flight, resulting in feathers that are much more resistant to closure. This design element ensures a High level of passive safety in all aerological conditions.
Supair EONA 4 NEW BRAKES
The EONA 4 is also a paraglider of choice for learning to wind your first thermals.
Braking has a direct influence on the glider’s performance in flight thermals, so we’ve chosen a braking system that favors flat turns. This type of braking, more focused on the center of the glider, prevents the glider from diving in the turn, making your first thermal turns easier.
Thanks to this behavior, it’s easier to optimizeLift / thermic to enjoy your first thermal laps without difficulty.
