A real cross-country flight drawn over real terrain: a single continuous track threads along a shaded mountain ridge, turning warm where the air was lifting the pilot and cool on the glides between climbs

Most of what your wing is doing, you never feel.

Pressure from sensors inside your canopy, recorded during the flight and read after you land, so you can see what the air was doing to it. A recorder, flown on real wings. Patent pending.

One real flight

217 kilometres, and he landed in the field he took off from.

A beta pilot flew out 66.6 km along a ridge, turned, and flew home — on a day with almost no wind to help in either direction. Every kilometre came out of climbs he found himself. This is the record his ParaBaro brought back.

A cross-country flight drawn over satellite imagery. Each circle is a climb the pilot found, sized by the height gained in it and coloured by its average strength; warm colours mark the air that was lifting, cool the air they paid to cross.

separate climbs, worked one after another

One flight, flown by one pilot on one wing. Our evidence base is still small, and we say so.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing to watch in the air.

1

Fit four modules to your wing

Two magnet-coupled pairs, one on each side, held through the fabric. Nothing is modified, and they can stay fitted between flights.

2

Fly as you always do

The ParaBaro Bridge, a small unit with no screen, records the pressure inside your wing together with your GPS track.

3

Read it back after you land

Your track and the pressure on each side of your wing, flight by flight, on your pilot dashboard.

It is a recorder, not an instrument. It gives no warnings in flight. Fly your normal instruments and your normal judgement.
