Flying the NX2
NX2 Wing Performance
The NX2 openings are soft, predictable, and easy to control.
The NX2 has a very intuitive flare and fun handling, with more response to harness inputs than other wings in its class.
The controls are progressive, with a long range and strong flare. The front and rear riser pressures are very manageable, allowing the wing to be flown effectively with differing inputs.
At lighter wing loading (.8 to 1.2), the NX2 is docile and ideally suited for beginners and intermediate jumpers.
At higher wing loading (above 1.5+), the NX2 becomes more responsive, and performance increases along with speed. This effect becomes more pronounced on the smaller sizes.
The wing packs comparably (or slightly smaller) to similarly sized wings in its class.

Pilot-reported wing loadings
Pilots report wing loadings of 0.8 to 2.0 (lb/ft²) are preferred on the NX2.
This is not a guide for choosing a size or for the maximum load of any canopy. Always size by the wing’s published size and maximum weight chart, your experience and your instructor’s advice. On smaller canopies (96 ft² and below), these wing loadings can mean a suspended weight above the maximum recommended for that canopy.

Risk Warning
Skydiving, parachuting, speed flying and paragliding are dangerous activities that can result in serious injury or death. Fluid Wings equipment must only be flown by appropriately trained, current and rated pilots, and must be inspected, maintained and packed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Wing performance varies with wing loading and size — the information on this page is a general guide only. Obtain advice from a qualified professional to confirm a wing is suitable for your intended use and skill level. Fluid Wings LLC does not provide that advice, and this page must not be used to determine acceptable maximum loading (suspended weight) for a wing.
