The BGD Cure 3 is presented as a “miracle” EN C two-liner, aimed at ambitious cross-country pilots and serial-class racers who demand top performance without sacrificing feedback and safety. Developed within the BGD Performance Project, this high-aspect wing combines cutting‑edge aerodynamic design, advanced materials and refined handling to turn strong XC days into long, fast flights.
H2: Positioning and pilot target
The Cure 3 sits at the top of the EN C class as a serious XC and competition machine. With a flat aspect ratio of 6.7, 70 cells and a certified EN C (LTF D with collapse lines) rating, it is clearly aimed at experienced pilots stepping up from mid-level XC wings, or seasoned competitors seeking a comfortable yet fast serial-class weapon. BGD describes it as “the miracle cure for those hardest bitten by the flying bug”, ideal for big distances and long days in active air.
H3: Size range and weight
The wing is available in four sizes – S, M, ML and L – covering certified weight ranges from 65 to 119 kg. Glider weights span approximately 4.8 to 5.7 kg, competitive for a fully featured performance two-liner with robust internal structure. This keeps it practical for hike-and-fly approaches, vol-bivouac adventures and frequent XC travel.
H2: Design DNA and handling
The Cure 3 shares its design philosophy with the DIVA 2 and BASE 3, but is tuned for EN C demands. A high arc and short lines give the pilot a very direct, connected feel. BGD emphasises immediate, precise brake response and a “really nice turn”: it thermals efficiently in flat turns yet gladly banks up into strong cores, climbing “like a rocket”. At bar, the wing tightens and remains notably stable, aiming to give pilots confidence to fly fast on glide.
H3: Two-liner platform and rear-riser control
As a modern two-liner, the Cure 3 reduces line drag with a simplified A/B layout and maximised unsupported cells. Rear-riser steering, assisted by ergonomic carbon handles, allows active pitch and trajectory control at speed. Short lines and raked, tapered wing tips enhance both efficiency and agility, while winglets contribute to benign spiral behaviour and automatic recovery from steep turns.
H2: Technologies and materials
The canopy uses Porcher Skytex 32 g/m² and 38 g/m² fabrics, supported by a carefully engineered internal structure. Chord Cut Billow (CCB) minimises ballooning and wrinkles, preserving a clean leading edge and stable profile. The BGD Parasim CFD-based simulation environment underpins the wing’s aerodynamic shape, including its reflex profile that improves top-speed stability and collapse resistance. Progressive Stability tuning gives a solid centre with softer tips, helping skilled pilots read the air and anticipate deflations.
H3: Practical details and safety features
Snap Locks on the brake handles, developed with Fidlock, secure controls on the ground and in manoeuvres while releasing only with a purposeful pull. The stabilo integrated into the AR3 line reduces total line consumption and drag, while still permitting Big Ears via the same attachment. Overall behaviour is refined through intensive testing across loads and harness types, targeting safe, predictable launches and landings to match the wing’s high-performance mission.
