About the LEAF 3
Are you an intermediate pilot who has logged many flight hours with your flight school and is starting to feel the limits of your EN-A glider? It’s time to upgrade to the LEAF 3!
Designed to offer a playful handling handling while ensuring a high level of passive safety, this new generation of the LEAF lineup returns with an improved design.
Thanks to improved coordination between roll and yaw, the LEAF 3’s turn-in is more intuitive, making it easier to optimize lift. The wing is more more stable on the roll axis, even during accelerated flight, allowing you to focus on the information that really matters about the airflow. The wide control travel makes the LEAF 3 forgiving and allows the pilot to take full advantage of the wing’s entire speed range of the wing in complete safety.
These features make the LEAF 3 a particularly high-performance glider in thermal conditions thanks to its comfortable and intuitive for pilots looking to improve their skills. In addition to being a great asset in light wind conditions, this precision in handling allows the LEAF 3 to take you far in your progress in cross-country.
Training under a LEAF 3 guarantees that you’ll continue your training under the guidance playful and reassuring that will take you far along in your progress. She’ll teach you to refine your driving skills while remaining patient. That’s everything you need to have fun in complete safety for many, many hours of flight time.

Perfect for making progress…
The LEAF 3 is the logical next step after a beginner wing such as the EONA 3 or the BIRDY.
Designed for pilots who want to take their flying to the next level, this is a easy to fly and forgiving that allows for a smooth transition to a more performance-oriented paragliding.
Its design is intended for intuitive use thanks to a streamlined line layout and that are simple and ergonomic so you can focus on what matters most: flying.
… without getting bored!
Despite its high level of accessibility, the LEAF 3 is nonetheless a dynamic car that’s fun to fly.
Responsive to controls and high-performing in thermal flight, the LEAF 3 teaches you step-by-step how to develop precise flying style that will allow you to always more at ease under your wing in all conditions: local flying, thermaling, soaring, cross-country…
A cushioned wing for maximum comfort
The LEAF 3 features a redesigned roof for greater stability in the roll direction. This design absorbs unwanted movements from the fender, resulting in optimal , even in turbulent conditions.
In fact, the wing filters the airflow to provide you with the information you really need for precise and intuitive control.
Wide range of motion when operated
The internal structure of the glider is designed to minimize minimize deformation of the Airfoilthe LEAF 3 benefits from wide steering brake travel.
This setup allows the LEAF 3 to handle low speeds well, making its handling forgiving and reassuring for you give you the confidence you need to improve your flying skills.
An Optimized Design
The materials selected for the LEAF 3 are sturdy and durable. The lines are easy to untangle, making the wing simple to handle, especially during pre-flight checks.
The LEAF 3 features a redesigned leading edge. The air intakes alternate between two types of openings along the entire leading edge to ensure optimal internal pressure regardless of flight regime.
The wide air intakes maintain the internal pressure stable at low speeds , while the narrower openings ensure optimal airfoil pressure during high-speed flight.
Easy Thermal Flying
The wing's design provides you with smoother braking and, therefore, precise control. The turn is flatter, making it easier to optimize lift. The LEAF 3 is therefore an EN-B with an ideal design for thermal flying and cross-country.
Do you like the LEAF3's features, but are you looking for something lighter for Hike & Fly?
Enjoy all the benefits of this EN-B in its lightweight version!
