The raked wingtips are particularly pronounced on the CURE 3. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stabilo is integrated into the AR3 line, offering a line drag reduction because there are fewer lines. Big Ears are done using the AR3 lines.

They have been refined and improved over the years and have now been widely adopted in the industry. A small focused magnet inside the catch with an internal locking system holds the handles in place. They release only when the handles are pulled down towards the pilot, so they don’t fall off while kiting, packing, or performing manoeuvres.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShort lines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort lines in combination with a high arc, give the pilot a unique, intuitive and very connected feel to the glider\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReflex profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The reflex in the wing means a lot of lift is generated near the leading edge and a force which opposes collapses.

Coupled with a strong internal structure, the line layouts that create more span-wise tension can support more unsupported cells. While maintaining a homogenous wing, this helps to minimise line consumption reducing drag thus improving performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Arc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high arc is optimised for sharp handling and high stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChord Cut Billow (CCB)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChord Cut Billow technology has been developed to improve the form friction, glider stability and overall performance of our paragliders. Two seams run chord-wise across the top panels of the leading edge. They accommodate the panel ballooning that happens when the wing is inflated. Without CCB, up to five centimetres of excess material is created on the sides of an inflated flat panel when it bends over a wing profile. This results in wrinkles. Chord Cut Billow technology removes this excess material and the 3D panel has fewer ripples and improved rib profile shape and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarbon handles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon handles for the rear-riser steering are comfortable, easy to use and facilitate flying fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBGD Performance Project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BGD Performance Project applies advanced aerodynamic shape optimisation techniques for conventional aircraft to paragliders, and has resulted in new shapes, profiles, and innovation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBGD Feedback\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafer gliders make pilots perform better.
