In addition, on a traditional paraglider profile, the brakes work against the internal pressure of the wing, which increases the required effort to apply the brakes. The lower brake pressure is related to the pitch stability of the profile, where the lift is mainly on the front part of the wing. The overall shape of the profile is very similar to that of a vulture, and is surprisingly efficient. This is not done at the cost of performance which is the case on reflex wings. The undercut in the profile at mid-chord of the wing accelerates the air in that area on the under surface, which means the pressure distribution is higher on the front half of the wing and lower on the latter half, this makes the wing very collapse resistant in flight in practice, this stability is similar to that of a reflex wing, pitching the nose up, not by pushing the tail down (as in a reflex wing). The Pitch Stability is a result of the unique profile on the glider, which is shark nose on the front, giving high internal pressure at lower angles of attack and at higher speeds. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions.The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. We cater to kids as young as 5 yo and adults as old as 85. Over 25 years in the business with perfect safety record. Coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. We specialize in Paragliding and Paramotor tandem flights and lessons.
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. But they are hard to learn and even harder to teach. The absence of bottom surface on the back part of the wing saves weight but is also what makes it fly in such a special way.
