The Aeros Style is a single-seat paraglider originating from Ukraine, designed and manufactured by the company Aeros based in Kyiv.
Design and development
Developed as an intermediate-level paraglider, the Style was created to serve pilots engaging in both local and cross-country flights. Certain sizes of this model received AFNOR certification under the "standard" category. While the initial Style model was available in 2003, it has since been discontinued and succeeded by the Style 2. The latter represents a completely redesigned glider, sharing only its name with its predecessor. Early versions of the Style were named according to their wing area measured in square metres, whereas the Style 2 adopts a straightforward size-based naming convention rather than wing area figures.
The construction of the Style 2 features Gelvenor OLKS fabric on the upper wing surface, combined with NCV Porcher 9017E38 material on the underside. The ribs utilize NCV Porcher 9017E29 fabric, and the lines are manufactured from Cousin Trestec materials.
