The Sonar MAv2 runs 10 sizes, 500–2,100 cm², and changes proportion as it grows: aspect ratio runs 4.8 at one end of the range to 7.9 at the other, so its sizes differ in shape as well as in area.

Its 630 mm span is 7% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 40 current wings within 10% of its size is 679 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.

Current wings from other brands within ±5% of area and ±8% of aspect ratio of the North Sonar MA500v2, closest first.
