ULS technology with a winner’s DNA
The new ultra-lightweight construction developed for the OMEGA ULS is now available to a larger group of pilots for the first time. The combination of the lightest materials and an extremely weight-optimised internal structure means that the THETA ULS is available from 3.1 kg.
Safe flying feeling with performance
The THETA ULS combines two worlds by bringing together the performance of the IOTA DLS with the feel-good factor of the EPSILON DLS. As an ultra-light mid-B wing, it is an all-rounder for a wide range of pilots.
Inspiration for new adventures
The right wing for pilots with many interests who like to explore new areas. The THETA ULS encourages your spirit of discovery and promises you freedom and independence on your flying adventures: whether for vol-biv, hike-to-fly tours or when travelling.
ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE
The heart of the THETA ULS is the filigree internal structure, which was first developed for the OMEGA ULS. Benefitting from the experience of countless competitions, we have perfected maximum possible rib cut-outs (micro cross-ports) as well as the complex inner structure we call Sliced Diagonals. ULS also uses only the lightest materials including «Nitinol-Rods».
EFFECTIVE PITCH-CONTROL-SYSTEM
Active flying using the C line level allows you to exploit the full performance potential of the THETA ULS. Modern pitch control by C-handles helps you do this. Control inputs are transmitted directly from C- to B-level so that the profile does not deform. This allows you to best adjust your angle of attack without sacrificing performance.
NEW PROFILE FOR MORE PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT
The new-generation profile has an optimised pressure distribution across the wing chord, for balanced pitch behaviour. This delivers high performance with reduced canopy tensioning, resulting in pleasant feedback by optimally absorbing turbulence. In addition, lift distribution, wingtip to wingtip, is more centred, with less lift at the wing tips and less tendency for the pilot to get pushed off course. This results in smoother, more comfortable flight behaviour.
HIGH-TECH EDELRID PRO DRY LINES
The THETA ULS line set is extremely length-stable and retains above-average tensile strength, even after many flights. Unsheathed Pro Dry lines are colour-coded and 60% more water-repellent than previous-generation lines.
