FREE FLIGHT WINGS DESIGN STUDIO

This is the latest  design "Eagle" from our friend Paweł Lipski from Altair Paragliders. Another incredible bird-shaped paraglider design, and the product of the experience accumulated in other previous and incredibile projects (Ara, Gyrfalcon, Piggy, Snow Owl,...). The body of the bird is designed using special techniques from Altair Paragliders, and the rest of the wing using our LEparagliding software. I would like to thank Altair Paragliders for their support during 2026 for developing and improving the LEparagliding design program. There are several pending improvements to facilitate the design work (for all constructors/inventors) that we hope to be usable during the first months of the year. Pere 2026-01-06

The expoLAB2025 exhibition took place on September 20, with a deliberately private feel. It marks a milestone in the history of Laboratori d'envol. After three complicated years for me (2023, 2024, 2025), with a low production of designs and software, in October the Laboratory will move definitively to Les Escaules. I sense a new stage with new ideas and the desire to fly high again.
