The aspect ratio of a glider is not the only factor in passive safety, but still a very important one. For this reason our wings have the aspect ratio they require. Our design motto is as much as necessary, as little as possible.
En lugar de un trozo de tejdo, estas costillas diagonales están confeccionadas con varias tiras de tejido que han sido cortadas direccionalmente acorde con los hilos de su trama antidesgarro. Son más laboriosas de fabricar e instalar, pues requieren más esfuerzo y precisión, pero garantizan un perfil más limpio, lo que se traduce en mayores prestaciones.
On a paraglider, pilots are accustomed to seeing a trailing edge that is as straight as possible. However, during our glider tests we discovered that on some models
- more brake pressure is required;
- the handling is worse;
- the aerodynamics and thus the performance are negatively influenced, because more line meters means more drag.
The Low Drag Brake foregoes the perfect look in favour of better handling and performance.
