New Features

  • Added a “Release Notes” page with a red notification dot on the menu link to let you know when a new version has been recently published.
  • Added a search bar in the menu to quickly find a glider’s page or a comparison.
  • Added a navigation menu optimized for mobile devices.
  • Added the following statistical data: accelerated speed, minimum speed (max brake), and thermal efficiency ratio. For more details on these statistics, please visit the “About the data” section.
  • Added the ability to show or hide columns in the glider table (saved in your browser), allowing each user to display only the data that is relevant to them.

Improvements

  • Improved the statistical data calculation algorithm.
  • Added a score for each flight based on the relevance of its data and the average flight score for each glider. More details on these calculations can be found in the “About the data” section.
  • Updated the content of the “About the data” page, removing sections regarding statistical result analyses. Added information concerning the statistical processing of flight data.
  • Removed the option to display the mean or the median. More details on the changes in statistical methods can be found in the “About the data” section.
  • The glider table is now also displayed on mobile instead of cards, as it is much better for viewing statistical data. To adapt to small screens, the table is scrollable in both directions; the header and the name column remain fixed during scrolling.
  • Updated the comparison (versus) links at the bottom of the page.
  • Added a red badge in the table for gliders with insufficient or less reliable datasets (fewer than 300 flights and less than one unique pilot per 100 flights on average).
  • You can now sort the table by multiple attributes simultaneously, allowing you to quickly identify the best gliders based on several specific criteria at once.
  • Filters are now automatically applied as you type on desktop; the mobile behavior remains unchanged. Changing filters now triggers an automatic scroll to the top of the table.
  • All table configurations are accessible on the left side on desktop, or via the button at the bottom left of the table on mobile.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug on the Safari browser where the glider list page was blocked, preventing navigation.
  • Fixed a bug in the glider table sorting validation that prevented it from working.
  • Fixed a bug in the “number of flights” filter that prevented it from working correctly.
  • Improved performance on the glider table page.

Developer’s Note

Hello everyone,

I hope your flight season went well! Mine was full of great flights, I can’t complain :), but as a result, I had little time to dedicate to developing Comparaglider alongside my professional work.

After a lot of hard work and effort, the new version of Comparaglider is finally here! Since the project’s launch, many of you from all over the world have shown great interest. I am happy that my work receives so much attention. That’s also why I took the time to reflect and truly invest myself in this project, to try and meet the community’s expectations and offer you the best possible quality with this update. I hope the wait was worth it and that these updates will satisfy as many of you as possible.

A lot of work has been dedicated to improving the statistical results and the data readability on the website. My statistical work was also supported by qualified individuals in the field, whom I thank immensely. The main goal of this update is to provide more quality and transparency regarding the statistical results and how they are obtained. I rewritten the “About the data” section to describe in depth the new method applied to obtain these results, in the interest of transparency.

Since the launch of Comparaglider in June 2024, I have received a lot of enthusiastic feedback from friends, pilots, and professionals in the field. All your feedback, whether positive or negative, is precious to me and helps me keep developing this project in the right direction.

If you have feedback on bugs, spelling mistakes, translation errors, or suggestions for improvement, you can send me an email here (please in English or French only): contact@comparaglider.com

I also read feedback on various paragliding forums discussing Comparaglider; I look forward to seeing the feedback on this new version!

The next updates’ focus will be on fixing bugs reported following this update, adding new translations in different languages, and continuing the compilation of the most recent flights to enrich the statistical data. The quality of the results is now high enough for me to launch more frequent updates—I’m aiming for once a month. When an update is deployed, you will be notified here and by the small red dot on the “Release Notes” button.

I wish you all many magnificent and safe flights for this year 2026,

Basile.
