Airwave MUSTANG2
The Mustang2 is a performance wing that directly incorporates technology from the FR Race series and is tuned to give dynamic, agile handling. Lightweight, long lasting and with a very high level of performance for its class the Mustang2 is aimed at experienced pilots looking for a performance wing suitable for cross country flying, adventure flying, and acrobatics.
DESIGN NOTES
The design brief for the Mustang2 was to upgrade what we already knew to be a very popular wing. Keeping the same basic profile and shape we returned the wing with the latest manifestation of our software and were able to increase each size by 1m without taking away any of the original Mustang 1´s agility. This slightly larger sail gave us a better sink rate at all speeds and has dramatically decreased the stall speed from the Mustang 1´s 23 km/h, to 20km/h. This lower stall speed adds to the all round usability of the Mustang2 allowing you to fly slower in lift, giving you greater security when close to the stall point and making it even easier to 'mush' in on difficult landings.
At the top end of the speed range new profile technology has given the Mustang2 greater stability when accelerated giving the glider an exceptionally large and very usable speed range. A combination of this same new profile technology and a development in line layout has given the Mustang2 a longer more progressive brake range that its predecessor whilst keeping the same level of agility and making the wing even more responsive to small precise brake movements.
The line layout has been simplified resulting in less line, less drag and hence a better glide at speed and the accelerator redesigned to be more like our competition wings. The Mustang2 has an unusually wide and user friendly speed range, and is a simple and undemanding wing to fly. We consider it to be one of the finest wings we have ever produced and a glider capable of superseding the original Mustang.
