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.

Real-time pressure from four points inside your canopy, while you fly — so you can see what the air is doing to it. Research-stage instrument, flown on real wings. Patent pending.

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.

300,000 Pilots Fly Without Reading the Wing

Every vario in the world tells you where you are. None of them tell you what the air is doing to your canopy — in real time, or after the flight.

Pressure inside the wing changes constantly. It's the cleanest signal of what your canopy is doing. Until now, no one has measured it in flight.

ParaBaro Reads Your Wing in Real Time

1

Pressure Sensors

Non-invasive magnetic coupling monitors internal wing dynamics

2

Wireless Transmission

Real-time BLE data to cockpit receiver or smartphone app

3

Pressure Analysis

Real-time pressure asymmetry, loading and unloading, recorded at 5–10 Hz against your IGC track

4

In-Flight View & Post-Flight Debrief

Live readout in the air, full pressure-and-track replay on the ground

What No Other Instrument Can Do

Every vario tells you where you are. Only ParaBaro tells you what your wing is doing.

Post-Flight Intelligence

Replay every minute of your flight with synchronised GPS and pressure traces. ParaGuru is being built to turn what your wing was doing into a plain-language debrief — the moments you couldn't feel, seen after the flight.

Real-Time Awareness

Pressure asymmetry, loading and unloading, displayed on your vario as it happens. Information, not warnings — what the air is doing to your wing, while you’re flying it.

Progression Over Time

Every flight is recorded. Over time you can compare your pressure traces across wings and seasons — a growing record of what your own flying actually looks like.

Everything a Pilot Needs

In the Air

  • Real-time wing pressure display
  • Left/right asymmetry visualisation
  • Competition-grade IGC GPS logging
  • Automatic flight recording

On the Ground

  • Pilot dashboard & flight logbook
  • 3D flight track visualisation
  • Pressure analysis graphs
  • IGC export for OLC and XContest
  • Firmware updates via USB or SD card

Built for Every Pilot Who Cares About Their Wing

XC & Competition Pilots

Full GPS vario with BLE to your favourite app, plus pressure data no other instrument captures. Competition-valid IGC logging with one-click XContest upload.

Schools & SIV Centres

Objective data on student wing handling. Review what the wing was doing through each phase of a flight, after the fact — evidence-based debriefs instead of guesswork.

Wing Manufacturers

Quantitative pressure data for R&D, certification testing, and design validation. The first sensor platform that measures what's happening inside the canopy.

Pilots Working on Progression

Whether you're moving from EN-A to B, working through SIV, or refining your active flying on a 2-liner, ParaBaro and ParaGuru give you the one thing every coach wishes they had: a recording of what your wing was actually doing.
