Elixir

MAC PARA Elixir – For Progressive XC Flying

The Elixir is a high-performance two-liner in the High-End EN-C category. Within the MAC PARA range, it is positioned precisely between the sporty Verve and the competition-oriented Magus. Weighing from just 4.0 kg, it combines outstanding performance with exceptional comfort in flight, making it equally at home on ambitious cross-country flights and demanding hike-and-fly or vol-biv adventures.

EN-D Performance Potential – EN-C Safety

The primary goal during development was to create a wing that offers experienced pilots performance levels approaching those of the EN-D class in terms of glide performance and speed, while retaining a compact design, forgiving handling characteristics, and passive safety fully within the limits of the EN-C certification category.

Aerodynamics and Design

The Elixir benefits from the latest technological advances developed for the Verve. It shares the proven Nitinol reinforcements and internal structure, while introducing a higher cell count, an aspect ratio of 6.68, and an even more refined high-performance airfoil.

The result is:

• improved efficiency in weak conditions,
• higher top speed,
• better glide performance at speed,
• precise handling combined with excellent stall resistance.

Key technical features include:

• Efficient two-line architecture that minimizes line drag.
  
  
• Rigi-Foil Nitinol reinforcements ensuring excellent profile stability and long-term durability.
  
  
• B/C Control System allowing precise pitch control and efficient flight throughout the entire speed range.
  
  
• Advanced 3D shaping along the leading edge for optimized airflow and maximum performance, even at full speed.
  
  
• Semi-light construction combining carefully selected lightweight and durable materials to achieve an ideal balance of weight, robustness, and canopy feedback.
