Canopy Shape Guard

CSG - Canopy Shape Guard - is our unique system controlling canopy coherence. It is because of this system that our wings are equally tensioned, smooth, stable and... simply remarkable.

CSG consists of a number of lesser systems:

• VS (V-shaped Supports) - they are there to ensure upper surface smoothness, exact aerofoil reproduction on entire wing span, better load distribution and possible small number of suspension points.
• RSS (Reinforcing Strap System) - an independent reinforcements net on lower surface, strengthening and stiffening all construction.
• OCD (Optimized Crossports Design) - the intercellar openings have carefully designed shapes and are optimally placed between stress lines in the ribs, in order to ensure efficient pressure distribution in the canopy and its quick inflation.
• CCS (Closed Dell Structure) - this is a number of closed cells in most important locations. It?s goal is to hinder the backflow from the cells out and thus to facilitate their refilling and canopy recovery in case of a collapse.

Canopy Shape Guard effectively stiffens the wing along all its span, practically eliminating any lateral canopy work. Its only flaw are the increases in weight (about 1 kg), material- and labour consumption, and of course in overall costs. Yet it is well worth the sweat, as in turn we get a no-compromise product of highest performance and quality, that above all is able to keep its planned parameters for a long, long time.

Not every wing features all DRA subsystems - you will find details in each wing description.
