A Swiss brand renowned for its high standard of construction and flying qualities of its gliders,
ADVANCE has been active on the world market for over 10 years and is amongst the present
market leaders. The management team has not changed since ADVANCE was founded, which
may explain the stability of the company and the trust shown by its customers : ROBERT
GRAHAM (Design and Development), ROLF ZELTNER (Administration and Production) and
VALÉRY CHAPUIS (Sales and Marketing). A strong team with many years of experience, able to
react quickly to the evolution of the market and sport. The principal team is complemented by
international test pilots. ADVANCE is also no stranger to success in competition, with numerous
titles including those of world champion and winner of the World Cup, not forgetting several
world distance records. ADVANCE celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first wing in 1999.
The BI BETA 2 is the 18th model marketed by ADVANCE. The unique philosophy with the
development of the gliders has made ADVANCE a brand recognised for its individual character,
right up to date technology, utilising the latest performance and security. The actual range is
particularly consistent and in tune with the expectations of the market : with no fewer than
5 models, there is truly something for everyone, from the beginner to the competition pilot :
ALPHA / EPSILON / SIGMA / OMEGA / BI BETA. In addition ADVANCE offers a full range of
harnesses.
PRODUCTION
We use the latest production techniques at our own facilities. The plant operators skills are
continually updated and the entire production line is regularly checked. This guarantees our
customers superbly finished gliders with the greatest safety and performance features.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND RECYCLING
The protection of the environment is a decisive consideration when we develop, choose
materials for and produce a new ADVANCE product. We exclusively use raw materials that stand
up to these qualities and use environmentally friendly practises. When one day your glider has
come to the end of its useful life please be sure to separate the metal parts from the lines,
risers and canopy and dispose of it with the environment in mind.
