The OMEGA 7 is a purebred high-performance paraglider that should only be flown by highly experienced, performance-oriented long-distance or competition pilots. In order to be able to fully master an OMEGA 7, a pilot should already possess experience with high-performance gliders in different meteorological conditions.  A regular flyer with these skills will be able to safely exploit the paraglider’s huge performance potential and cover long distances in a controlled and relaxed manner.

Great intrinsic stability thanks to Hi-Arc

Based on the design of an arched bridge, the OMEGA 7 has a high camber. This makes the canopy inherently more stable and able to be flown faster without collapsing, even in turbulent air. As a result of this improved stability feature, the OMEGA 7 has a significantly higher aspect ratio than its predecessor.

High performance in turbulent air

The high aspect ratio, carefully calculated profile and competition lines make the OMEGA 7 a high-performance glider, even in turbulent air. The performance is clearly expressed with a glide ratio of 10:1 and an exceptional glide angle in the upper speed range. The Speed Performance Indicator (SPI) also helps experienced pilots to choose the optimum speed and enables them to greatly improve average speed on long-distance flights.  more about SPI      SPI Simulator (Java Applets must be allowed)

Direct handling

Despite the wide wingspan, the OMEGA 7 exhibits predictable and extremely direct handling which facilitates precise turn initiation and infinitely variable re-centering at all angles of bank. In addition, the balance between the profile and air foil twist ensures the requisite thermal bite and exceptional canopy feedback.

Efficient and smooth 2-phase speed system

The OMEGA 7 is equipped with a variable transfer speed system that enables shortening or lengthening of the speed bar extension range and pressure to suit the user’s anatomical position: smooth, triple transfer as long as the legs remain bent, and efficient, double transfer with outstretched legs.  more about 2-phasen speed system


Specially coated lines

With a more compact weave and an additional coating of the separate twines, it has proved possible to increase the UV-resistance as well as the abrasion resistance on the Liros competition lines significantly. At loops in the forks, the lines are sheathed, giving them less surface pressure.

Smart Sail System

Since the beginning of ADVANCE, the direction of the ripstop in the leading edge area has been inserted to take into account to the different loads on the canopy, in order to avoid a diagonal distorsion of the fabric. With the OMEGA 7, ADVANCE is introducing an exclusive new fabric developed in close collaboration with Porcher Sport for this heavily stressed area. With a special impregnation, this fabric offers a much longer life with no increase in weight.   Illustration Smart Sail System

ADVANCE Innovations & Quality

ADVANCE pay great attention to small details. Sewn-in compression and Mylar straps increase the canopy stability, partially closed cells increase the internal pressure and the winglets decrease the induced drag (vortex effect). Velcro closures on the wingtips make it easier to remove sand, snow and debris from the glider. Like all ADVANCE models, the OMEGA 7 incorporates a swivel on the steering lines and different brake handles with magnetic clips, depending on the canopy size. The many small but important details like these add the finishing touch to the product.   more about ADVANCE Innovations & Quality

The ADVANCE OMEGA 7 has been awarded DHV 2-3 certification by the German Hanggliding and Paragliding Federation (DHV). This rating applies to all OMEGA 7 sizes in unaccelerated or accelerated flight.    More about certifcation
