The closest current wings from other brands — every one within ±5% of area and ±8% of aspect ratio, ranked closest first. The closest, the Slingshot One-Lock Kite 855, is already drawn over it. Select a numbered wing to draw it — up to three at a time.
The HS has run 6 sizes, 626–1,850 cm², including discontinued sizes, and changes proportion as it grows: aspect ratio runs 4.8 at one end of the range to 5.8 at the other, so its sizes differ in shape as well as in area.
Its 669 mm span is 25% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 127 current wings within 10% of its size is 890 mm.
Closest wings from other brands
Projected and flat area run 3–8% apart. A marked area is one whose brand does not state which it publishes, so a comparison inside the area tolerance may be comparing unlike figures.
