Hi,

the Agir Brokk wing does look very nice but it is not an all-round doughnut buoyancy cell design like the Eclipse wings.

So I presume that if you are horizontal it would be easier to dump gas from the Eclipse wing.

That would certainly be worth considering when comparing the two.

Regards,

What IS the logic behind twin wings being horseshoes and single wings being donuts?

I've heard that a horseshoe shape allows you to trap some air on the same side that you are carrying something heavy (which you are supposedly more likely to carry when using twins), thus helping to balance things out.

Or something like that.

Perhaps.
