Wilko: CONFIDENCE INSPIRING FROM THE FIRST TAKE OFF

Progressive launches and landings

Easy to inflate in all wind conditions. The air inlets and the internal structure are designed so that during take off the centre inflates first, ensuring a progressive rise. The air is displaced to the sides, distributing the internal pressure in a controlled and stable manner to avoid asymmetric inflation.

On approach and landing, the Wilko provides exceptional control at low speeds thanks to its late stall point. In addition, it facilitates good flare and speed retention for a smooth touch down.

Stable and safe

The Wilko is self-stabilising after every manoeuvre and has a gradual response to pilot inputs. It has the ability to filter out turbulence to improve pilot comfort and maintain stability on all axes.

Easy to control and very intuitive to fly, it allows the pilot to gain experience quickly, while maintaining safety at all times and in all phases of flight.

Accessible and comfortable

The Wilko is very accessible and easy to fly thanks to a low aspect ratio of 4.75, a reduced number of cells and the arc of the canopy. It is a compact and solid glider, with no pitch and roll.

With a long brake travel, it avoids abrupt reactions in piloting and allows students to learn with full confidence and a good margin of error.

Highly durable materials

Manufactured from high quality and robust materials, specifically selected to withstand intensive use in schools and maintain good performance over time and use.

Target

Entry-level and training
Certified EN A, the Wilko is perfect for people who want to start paramotoring. An accessible and safe glider, ideal for learning the basic techniques of flying and gaining confidence progressively.

Paramotor schools
Designed to meet the needs of professionals in paramotor schools, allowing them to teach their students comfortably and efficiently. It is stable and very easy to use.

Niviuk Technologies

Simplified lineset

Preparation for flying is very simple. The Wilko is a 3-liner with very simple risers and line layout, with colour-coded lines for easy identification.

New flat canopy

The flatter arc in the centre of the canopy is designed to maximise the stability of the wing. The Wilko remains stable on all three axes during all phases of flight.

Nitinol reinforcements

The Wilko is very durable thanks to the built-in Nitinol rods. The profile is able to withstand countless hours of inflation, packing and unpacking by students.

Progressive inflation

The leading edge air inlets and internal slot distribution have been structured to optimise the progressive inflation process and maintain the stability of the wing during launch.

Leading Edge

The leading edge design contains an extra longitudinal seam and an ideal, distortion-free tension, based on 3DP technology for a crease-free profile and to preserve the durability of the glider.

Reinforced internal structure

The distribution of loads generated in flight has been improved with a new internal design of ribs and diagonals, and with reinforced attachment points.

3D Leading Edge

Adding an extra seam to the leading edge on the span axis of the glider helps to shape a compact 3D profile and have better connections to the new 3DP front panel's layout.

Structured Leading Edge

The SLE provides more rigidity and stability along the span of the leading edge but also allows full flexibility along both the vertical and horizontal axis of each open cell. The SLE ensures ease of movement on the ground and high security in the air during turbulence and whilst flying at speed.

RAM Air Intake

Evolution and constant improving in all Niviuk products are the essence of the DNA of Niviuk's R&D team. Thanks to the new technologies created over recent years, we have conceived new and more evolved and higher performing gliders. In this context, the RAM Air Intake technology should be pointed out.

3D Pattern Cut Optimization

This technology seeks to implement the best orientation of the cloth on each panel according to its location on the leading edge. If the cloth pattern is correctly aligned with the load axes, the cloth suffers less deformation flight after flight, so the leading edge maintains its shape better and remains stronger over time.

The design of their paraglider and paramotor wings has evolved a lot over the years, with a positive and specific focus on the leading edge.

Thanks to this technology and 3DL, a perfect modelling of the panels and an exact representation from 2D to 3D is achieved.

Titanium Technology

Constantly innovating, we always are on the hunt, looking for the latest and best materials to helps us design optimal products. For this reason, and after an extensive evaluation of its benefits and qualities, we decided to be the firsts manufacturer to use Nitinol in our glider line.
