Proven Performance, Evolved.
The X-Wing defines the next generation in Armstrong’s wing lineup. Designed and constructed to deliver high end performance and efficiency with refined composed handling. It offers a fast, intuitive ride that feels immediately familiar yet distinctly elevated.
Reactivity, progressive power output combined with its lightweight are the key attributes that have it sitting above the XPS in the range. The X-Wing is constructed with high performance materials adding to air frame stiffness and overall weight reduction.
Lighter, Stronger Airframe
The X-Wing airframe is built for riders chasing greater efficiency and control. A refined geometry delivers reduced drag, lighter responsive feel, and a noticeably broader wind range while foiling. The result is a wing that pulls efficiently and predictably, giving riders the confidence to push harder in powered conditions.
High Aspect, Higher Control
An increased aspect ratio extends the wing’s range and improve performance at speed. This geometry favours intermediate to advanced riders, offering greater control and composure in powered conditions. Riders looking for more power and speed can simply size up, gaining the power they need while benefiting from the X-Wing’s high-efficiency.
Less Weight, More Efficient
Built with advanced materials, the X-Wing achieves a reduced leading edge diameter for lower weight without compromising rigidity. This optimized structure delivers improved efficiency throughout the wind range. At under 2 kg, the wing feels light, maneuverable, and easy to handle keeping fatigue low and performance high.
CANOPY, Dual Design Canopy Layout
The X-Wing canopy is engineered to support higher power loads with a stable, low distortion sail. Built using performance focused Teijin Technoforce material, tuned to maintain shape and tension under sustained loads. It delivers consistent drive, a wide power band and predictable handling across the wind range.
Materials
They have chosen Teijin D3 Technoforce because it feels great in flight, maintains its tension over time, and limits wear to a minimum. DLE 130 reinforcement panels further protect the canopy and boost the wing’s longevity. Prior to assembly, we rigorously inspect each piece of canopy material to ensure only the very best selection makes it into their wings.
Carbon Battens
Removable carbon fibre trailing edge battens minimize canopy flutter and provide easy tuning for varying wind strengths.
Cross Panel Sail Design
Inspired from the performance sailing world and innovated by Armstrong in wing design, the Cross Panel Sail (XPS) provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when riding. By arranging the individual canopy panels at specific angles that best suit load distribution across each panel, this layout greatly reduces sail and airframe distortion.
Longitudinal Panels
These panels are strategically aligned across the front of the sail to form and support the high camber aerofoil section. By controlling stretch across the span, they increase tension where it counts most, preserving canopy shape and delivering crisp, efficient feeling especially at speed or under sustained load.
Windows, Safety without compromising.Â
Clear TPU windows provide excellent horizontal visibility along the strut for added special awareness and safety. Our TPU is lightweight, exceptionally clear, and won’t yellow or crack over time.
