BGD Cure 3 EN C Wing

Made for big XCs and serial-class racing, our high-performance EN-C two-liner is pure performance and a joy to fly!

The CURE 3 is our cutting-edge, high-performance two-liner EN-C. A product of the BGD Performance project research, it shares family traits and a design philosophy with the DIVA 2, BASE 3 and BREEZE, which means top-of-class performance combined with excellent passive safety and feeling.

It was designed to take on the best of the EN-C serial-class racing machines, so speed and glide are high priorities. What makes it stand out is that it does this, and has great handling. Small brake inputs have an immediate effect, and the CURE 3 has a really nice turn.

It has a very fast top speed and excellent stability at speed, with that satisfying and reassuring ‘tightening-up’ feeling when you push the bar. It’s great for thermalling! It can make flat, efficient turns but also loves to be banked up, to dig into those ripper cores and climb out like a rocket.

And boy, this wing can glide … Bruce described it as having a ‘never-landing feeling’. You know, when it’s late in the day, the last rays of sun on the hills, you’re soaring the ridges, sniffing out lift, but with the CURE 3 it’s relaxing as you just don’t feel like you’ll go down.

Designer’s notes

The shape of the CURE 3 has been optimised for efficiency and to streamline performance, using our aerodynamics expertise and Parasim, our in-house simulation software.

It bears a strong resemblance to the DIVA 2 and the BASE 3, but each design is different, adapted to the specific line layout, aspect ratio etc. The CURE 3 has a high arc and short lines, and elegant swept-back and tapered, drag-reducing wingtips. The raked wingtips are particularly pronounced on the CURE 3.

The stabilo is integrated into the AR3 line, offering a line drag reduction because there are fewer lines. Big Ears are done using the AR3 lines. The winglets help the glider to recover automatically from even the steepest spiral dive.

The test team hammer the prototypes with repeated tests at different weights and harnesses, in the toughest conditions. Their job is to make sure it passes the certification of course, but it’s much more than this: they dial up the fun-factor and tighten up the handling, making sure it is an absolute joy to fly and ensuring safe and easy launch and landing behaviour.
