**The Supair EONA 4 is the wing your first flights happen on.** Smooth and intuitive,
it inspires confidence from the very first inflation: it rises evenly, launches 
easily and stays calm in the air, so a student can focus on learning and an instructor
can always anticipate what the glider will do next. It is EN-A certified in all 
five sizes, and sizes M, ML and L are also certified for paramotoring.

Supair paid special attention to the canopy and internal structure to maximize passive
safety: optimized inflation, an even, uniform rise over the pilot’s head and a solid
structure. Borrowing design methods from Supair’s high-performance wings, the EONA
4 is a school glider that is solid, reassuring and genuinely fun to fly – the pilot
feels safe, and the instructor can anticipate its behavior in all conditions.

## Understanding your EONA 4

Smoothness and ease are the whole point of this new generation of EONA. Here is 
where that forgiving behavior comes from.

### Winglets: spiral stability without losing performance

The EONA 4 is the first EONA with winglets – small fins at the wingtips. A school
wing must be _spiral-stable_: if it enters a spiral dive, it should slow down and
come out on its own, without any input from the pilot. Traditionally this is done
by raising the angle of the wingtips so they create drag, but that drag is there
all the time and costs performance in straight flight.

The EONA 4’s winglets are aligned with the airflow in normal flight, so they add
almost no drag. They only start working when the glider enters a spiral, limiting
its speed and helping it return to straight flight. The result: excellent passive
safety, easy spiral exits and better glide in normal flight.

### An innovative internal structure

The internal structure – the fabric inside the cells that holds the profile – is
the “skeleton” of a paraglider. On the EONA 4 it has been completely reworked:

 * **Laser-cut rib openings** reduce weight, so the wing inflates more easily and
   has less inertia in flight. It’s easy to handle and easy to anticipate, for both
   student and instructor.
 * **A full-span strip at the rear of the profile** keeps the wing’s behavior consistent
   from tip to center and limits deformation, so beginners get the hang of it quickly.
 * **Widened wingtips** are structurally stronger in flight and much more resistant
   to collapse, adding passive safety in all conditions.

### A braking system made for your first thermals

The brakes directly affect how a glider turns in a thermal. The EONA 4 uses a braking
system focused on the center of the wing, which favors flat turns and stops the 
glider from diving into the turn. Your first thermal circles are smoother, and it’s
easier to keep climbing efficiently.

### Built to survive the training hill

Learning means hours of ground handling and repeated contact with the ground. Supair
chose the materials for each section of the EONA 4 individually:

 * **Zoned fabrics** – the hardest-wearing fabrics where friction and loads are 
   highest, lighter fabrics elsewhere to keep inflation light and easy.
 * **Redesigned diagonals** spread tension more evenly across the profile, so the
   wing resists deformation and keeps its performance over time.
 * **Ribs that stop short of the trailing edge** and **interconnected cells** let
   sand, dust and debris travel to dedicated openings at the wingtips for easy emptying.
 * **Single-rod leading edge with the Easy-to-Remove Rod System** – if a rod gets
   worn or damaged, it can be replaced quickly and cheaply at a repair shop.

### EONA 4 on a paramotor

Easy inflation, in-flight stability and a robust build make the EONA 4 a simple,
reliable wing for powered flight too – even on abrasive, sandy launch sites. It 
lets you ease into paramotoring with intuitive handling and comfort. Sizes M, ML
and L are DGAC certified for paramotor use.

## Colors

Available in **Oasis** (orange/yellow), **Lilac** (purple/violet) and **Ice** (blue/
