Stubai Cup 2024: Ozone's new Alta, Ultralite 5 and the lightweight Photon

Ozone had two official reveals and one unofficial at the Stubai Cup 2024 in Austria. The new Alta (EN A, with winglets) and Ultralite 5 (lightweight double-skin mountain wing, seven sizes) were both announced and available for test flying. The Alta is a brand new glider, aimed at new pilots and designed to take them on their first XC missions.
The unofficial news was that yes, there will be a lightweight Photon (EN C) available later this year. “So many pilots have asked, so we are working on it,” Ozone boss JC Skiera said. An Ozone para-kite is also in the design stages. In the video JC also talks about the new Magnum 4 which is coming "very shortly" and also an update to the Submarine competition harness - it will soon be available in different colours, including yellow.

Yellow Submarine!

[@Xozbg_pz]

Do you have any idea when the alpina 5 will be available ?

[@thisisyol]

I wonder which fin is the more impactful, inner or outer?

[@MaxMartini22]

A fin closer to the wingtip could reduce drag generated by the tip vortices. A more centered fin will create resistance in the roll behavior of the wing thus helping it to exit spirals and improving stability.

[@thisisyol]

@@MaxMartini22 yeah but which one does more work for exiting a stable spiral? The inner or outer side? What if inner is cravatted? Still good?

Enzo 4?
