The well-established Fayence airfield is hosting France’s National Glider Aerobatics Championship this weekend. Unlike powered aircraft, glider aerobatics relies solely on the pilot’s mastery of the elements, the finesse of their control, and the graceful dance with gravity.
Some of the most talented glider aerobatic pilots in the world will perform stunning maneuvers, from loops and rolls to intricate sequences that defy the limits of physics—all without the roar of an engine, only the whisper of the wind.
As they take to the skies, watch each pilot mirror the other in a dance of precision and synchronicity. This is more than aerobatics—it’s a testament to teamwork, skill, and the pure beauty of flight.
At the heart of the action: the legendary Fox Glider.
Designed for aerobatics, the Fox is revered for its strength, agility, and performance. Capable of executing loops, rolls, spins, and more with unmatched precision, this glider embodies the art of unpowered flight at its highest level.
🎖 The Award Ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 5th at sunset, followed by a spectacular airshow to close the event. The Fayence airfield will also host the International Glider Aerobatics Championship in 2026.
