The Ozone Atom is a French single-place paraglider that was designed by hang gliding and paragliding world champion pilot Robbie Whittall and produced by Ozone Gliders of Le Bar-sur-Loup. It remained in production as the Ozone 3 in 2016.[1]
The aircraft was designed as a beginner glider for school use in flight training and replaced the Ozone Element in production in that role.[1][2]
The design has progressed through three generations of models, the Atom, Atom 2 and 3, each improving on the last. The models are each named for their relative size.[1]
Reviewer Noel Bertrand described the Ozone series of gliders in a 2003 review as, "wings that are both pleasant to fly and high performance in their respective categories".[1]
