Wings of Change Twister

The Wings of Change Twister is an Austrian single-place paraglider that was designed by Markus Gründhammer and produced by Wings of Change of Fulpmes, starting in 2003. It is now out of production.

Design and development
The Twister was designed as an intermediate glider. Gründhammer describes his design as "a perfect synthesis of aesthetics, performance and safety". The Twister Xi variant had a slightly reduced glider weight.

The models are each named for their relative size.
