New free-flying wings range
Wednesday, 15 June 2011
Following many pilots´ inquiries, last year we launched complete refreshal of our free-flying wings range. Here are some more details.
As our first step this spring we've certified new training canopy. Nemo 2 passed the certification process with flying colours, receiving A certificate in all sizes. The good-natured character of this paraglider is already confirmed by pilots flying it.
So, now we are busy polishing other members of the new free-flying range. All prototypes have been intensively flown in recent months, and the results are very promising.
As usual, they were designed using the best software available with implementation of some new technologies. Thanks to a modern laser-cutting plotter recently installed we were able to shorten the production cycle to a minimum, while retaining highest precision of assembly.
To cope with task of refining new paragliders we´ve increased our test pílots team. Their rich and various experience brings the best compromise between performance and safety.
Currently the following free-flying wings are in the final stages of preparation:
- three-row paraglider of 5,45 aspect ratio (51 cells), featuring stiffened leading edge. We plan to put it in the B-category. It is meant not to replace the Plus, rather complement the class with a proposition for more ambitious pilots, who want a better performing modern canopy, yet offering a distinct feeling of comfort and safety.
- three-row paraglider of 5,9 aspect ratio (59 cells), featuring stiffened leading edge as well. This will be certified as EN-C category, targeting the cross-country pilots looking for some peace over their heads, while not compromising the performance.
- finally, a two-row high-end paraglider of 7,5 aspect ratio (59 cells), with rigid structures on considerable percentage of total area (not using the carbon rods!). Obviously it will be a competiton wing with some features or reflex profile, suitably modified for this category.
