Mirage

The Mirage, produced by Russian paraglider and paramotor manufacturer Paraavis, entered the market in 2010 as a response to growing demand for high‑performance cross‑country wings. Developed from the earlier Paraavis Raptor series, the Mirage incorporated a refined cell architecture and a stretched aspect ratio of 6.5:1, delivering superior glide efficiency while retaining forgiving handling for intermediate pilots. Its construction uses rip‑stop nylon with a durable polyurethane coating, and the wing is reinforced with Mylar ribs that maintain shape under load. The cockpit harness integrates quick‑release buckles and an ergonomic back support, allowing pilots to fly for extended periods without fatigue. Since its launch, the Mirage has been adopted by national competition teams and flight schools across Europe and Asia, contributing to record‑setting distance flights in 2013 and 2017. The aircraft’s significance lies in bridging the gap between beginner‑friendly gliders and elite competition wings, proving that advanced aerodynamic concepts can be packaged in an accessible, reliable design. Today the Mirage remains a benchmark in the Paraavis catalog, influencing newer models and reinforcing the brand’s reputation for innovative, safety‑oriented sport aviation solutions.
