Elite Performance, Total Control
The Wills Wing T3 is a top-tier flex-wing competition glider built for pilots who demand precise, balanced, and high-performance flight in both light and strong thermals.
Its refined sail planform, tuned panel layout, and premium materials help retain energy efficiently across the speed range, while a breakthrough tip‑wand bearing system sharpens control, making thermalling more precise and high-speed glide more composed.
Every aspect of the T3 is engineered for competition success, and the domination of the hang glider sport: carbon-reinforced basetube, rear leading edges, and sprogs reduce drag, while laminate UV film, speed battens, and raked tips enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Available in multiple sizes, the T3 accommodates a wide span of pilot weights, delivering responsive, exhilarating performance for pilots pushing the limits on the global competition circuit.
The T3 comes in three sizes to suit pilots of different weights, with each size tuned for balanced handling, energy-efficient glide, and competition-level performance:
- T3 136 ft²: A smaller wing designed for lighter pilots
- T3 144 ft²: A mid-sized wing built for mid-weight pilots
- T3 154 ft²: A larger wing offering increased lift and stability for heavier pilots

A Closer Look At The T3
-
Competition-Refined Sail Planform
The T3’s sail planform and panel layout are precisely tuned for competition flying, delivering exceptional energy retention and glide efficiency across the full speed range. Subtle refinements to twist distribution and sail tension help maintain performance in both light, technical thermals and high-speed transitions between climbs.
-
Breakthrough Tip-Wand Bearing System
A redesigned tip-wand receptacle bearing system significantly improves roll authority, particularly with VG engaged. This allows for more accurate thermalling, cleaner transitions, and a noticeably more composed feel at higher speeds — an advantage when precision matters most.
-
Carbon-Reinforced Structural Components
To reduce drag and increase stiffness, the T3 incorporates a carbon-reinforced basetube, rear leading edges, and sprogs. These structural upgrades enhance control feedback and efficiency while maintaining predictable handling under high load and aggressive flying conditions.
-
Advanced Sail Materials
A laminate UV film on the top surface, combined with speed battens, minimizes sail distortion and improves airflow consistency at competition speeds. The result is a cleaner profile, improved acceleration, and better energy preservation during glide.
-
Raked Tips for High-Speed Stability
Raked wingtips reduce induced drag and improve yaw stability, contributing to smoother high-speed glide and more confident handling when pushing the bar. This design supports controlled, efficient flight during long transitions and final glides.
-
Tuned for Elite Pilots
Every aspect of the T3’s design prioritizes precision, balance, and feedback. Rather than softening the glider for accessibility, the T3 rewards experienced pilots with direct control response and a composed, predictable feel at the edge of the performance envelope.
Learn More About The T3
The T3 is designed for experienced and competition-focused pilots who are current, current with high-performance gliders, and comfortable flying at the edge of the performance envelope in a wide range of conditions.
While both are high-performance flex-wing gliders, the T3 incorporates a refined sail planform, advanced materials, and a tip-wand bearing system that delivers improved roll authority, energy retention, and composure at high speeds, particularly with VG engaged.
The T3 is optimized for competition flying and rewards precise, active piloting. Pilots transitioning from intermediate or sport gliders should gain experience on high-performance wings before considering the T3.
The T3 excels in both light, technical thermals and strong, high-speed conditions. Its tuned sail and structural stiffness help maintain efficiency during long glides, aggressive transitions, and final glide scenarios.
Size selection should be based on hook-in weight, desired handling characteristics, and flying style. Flying within the recommended weight range ensures balanced control, predictable handling, and optimal performance across the speed range.
