Paradelta Bora

Design and development

The Bora was designed as an intermediate glider. The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.

The improved Bora 2 was introduced in 2003 and remained in production in 2016.

Reviewer Noel Bertrand noted the Bora 2's introduction in 2003, writing, "this elegant wing, like all high performance wings, has triple cells with diagonal cell bracing and thin section lines".
