A new radiation-driven wind solution called δ-slow was found by Curé et al. (2011) and it predicts a mass-loss rate and terminal velocity slower than the fast solution (m-CAK, Pauldrach et al. 1986). In this work, we present our first synthetic spectra based on the δ-slow solution for the wind of B supergiant (BSG) stars. We use the output of our hydrodynamical code HYDWIND as input in the radiative transport code FASTWIND (Puls et al. 2005). In order to obtain stellar and wind parameters, we try to reproduce the observed Hα, Hβ, Hγ, Hδ, Hei 4471, Hei 6678 and Heii 4686 lines. The synthetic profiles obtained with the new hydrodynamical solutions are in good agreement with the observations and could give us clues about the parameters involved in the radiation force.
