The Helix has all the desired characteristics of an everyday wing but it is built to Fluid’s high standards of a modern competition wing. The Helix is intended for freefall use so the deployment performance was a major consideration in the development. It was designed from the beginning to be fun to fly. Whether filming, training, or canopy-piloting, the Helix will energize your jumping and excite you.

 

Harness:

The Helix is much more sensitive to harness input than most typical cross-brace wings. The wing rolls almost effortlessly and doesn’t require huge inputs to get the desired result. This only gets better as the wing accelerates.

​

Rear risers:

Whether you are in flight or swooping, the Helix design was optimized to fly on rear risers. It has more power and a wider range on rears than similar wings on the market. It is very efficient in converting vertical speed into forward speed and is the best in its class on a long spot.

 

Deployments:

Throughout development and during demos we have received positive feedback from all users regarding the Helix's openings. We have found the openings to be smooth, well-staged, and with less tendency to shake violently or search for a heading during the snivel than some other cross-braced wings.
