Your Ultimate Sports Class Racer

The GTO 3 is built for serious cross-country pilots seeking top-tier performance in the EN C category. Every detail—from glide ratio to top speed, riser control to handling precision—has been fine-tuned to deliver an edge in competitive sport class flying. Whether you're climbing effortlessly to the top of a thermal or stretching out a long glide, the GTO 3 gives you the tools to lead the pack.

Performance Meets Stability

Featuring a redesigned profile, the GTO 3 offers impressive pitch stability, even when fully accelerated. The glide is smooth and efficient, allowing the wing to cut cleanly through the air. This translates to improved performance throughout your flight, giving you the confidence to push further and faster.

Responsive Handling, Superior Climb

The GTO 3’s handling is intuitive and accurate, giving pilots a direct connection to the wing. Thermalling becomes more fluid and less demanding, so you can stay focused on your next move. A new planform with swept-back tips and the advanced Wave Leading Edge technology contribute to outstanding climb rates and a satisfying, responsive feel.

Full-Speed Control

A wide speed range, combined with optimised B-riser pressure and excellent stability at full bar, means you can make the most of your accelerator travel. Whether you're racing to goal or pushing into wind, the GTO 3 maintains composure and efficiency across the entire speed spectrum.

Bio-Inspired Innovation

The GTO 3 incorporates Wave Leading Edge (WLE) Technology, influenced by the tubercle structure of humpback whale fins. This innovation, developed in collaboration with the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea through the GIN LAB wind tunnel project, enhances low-speed performance, improves sink rate, and ensures a more progressive stall behavior.
