The High Performance Glider

 The new Vertigo turns the dreams of ambitious pilots into reality,  after years of searching for a glider with light and precise handling , simple start and landing characteristics, and optimal glide performance, the Vertigo has landed!

Thomas RAUCH has reached his goal in the development of the Vertigo, for example, through the extensive testing and experimentation with the batten profile, our high performance wing has a combination of performance and quality that is second to none.

With uncountable hours of flight testing, we have now the confirmation, that we can offer a machine, that to this day, has no competition.  

Since 2001 the Vertigo has been in the stable’s of some of the strongest national pilots in the world, e.g. Germany, Slovenia, Japan, Austria etc…

A new sail cut!

The leading edge has a deeper cut and flows around to become more of the batton sail. Through a new profile in the last top sail batten( in the glass fibre tip area), the glider  has become deeper giving more active support with steering.  With a new glass fibre tip rod we have achieved a clean, fine tensioned leading edge. 

The double sail has a re-designed straighter finishing cut giving a 93% coverage of the top sail.  The 12 built-in flairs with the Vertigo 15 and 10 with the Vertigo 13 give the bottom sail construction an optimal profile.

 The new designed batton profile with 12 individual profiles has been especially designed for the Vertigo.  The combination of a second nose batton gives a tensioned sail providing enhanced steering/handling.  The Vertigo is also available with the new and robust ‘Dinax PP’, the full mylar version.  For optimal performance and aerodynamics the bottom sail is finished with a neoprene cover where the A frame meets the keel.
