Skywalk CHILI5: The High-Tech Performance Reference
The Skywalk CHILI5 continues the legacy of one of the most successful EN-B wings ever made. It is designed for pilots who demand the performance of a high-end intermediate but want to maintain the manageable flight behavior and comfort needed for long, eight-hour cross-country missions. The CHILI5 feels intuitive from the moment you launch, quickly becoming a single unit with the pilot to help you find and core thermals with ease.
XC Efficiency with SPEED CONTROL
As the first Skywalk EN-B intermediate to feature the SPEED CONTROL system, the CHILI5 allows you to fly like a pro. By controlling the angle of attack via the rear risers while on speed bar, you can compensate for turbulence and make directional corrections without having to release the bar. This increases your average XC speed and keeps the wing aerodynamically efficient even in active air masses.
Optimized Construction & Material Mix
The CHILI5 uses a sophisticated fabric mix of TX-Light and Dominico 30 DMF, resulting in a weight reduction of 10% compared to its predecessor. This lighter weight improves launch behavior and handling without compromising the glider's robustness or long-term resistance to aging. With 57 cells and a sleek 5.6 aspect ratio, the CHILI5 delivers a solid, pressurized feel that inspires confidence in turbulent conditions.
Key Features
- SPEED CONTROL: Steering handles on the rear risers for pitch and speed control while accelerated.
- JET FLAPS: Patented Skywalk technology that improves climb performance and extends the safety margin near the stall point.
- Shark Nose: Ensures high internal pressure for a solid flying feel and significant performance gain on bar.
- 3D-Shaping & C-Wires: Minimizes wrinkles and optimizes load distribution for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
- Mini-Ribs with Internal Seams: Increased shape stability and improved robustness during ground handling.
- Automatic Sand Release System: Profile rib openings allow dirt and debris to trickle out the wingtips automatically.
