Instead of designing and producing prototypes one by one, our unique in-house structural \/ aero simulation program, BGD Parasim, enables us to accurately simulate hundreds of virtual prototypes.

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 centimeters 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\u003eEASY REFLEX PROFILE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ICON features a new gentle reflex profile that improves stability at speed and easy enough for beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSLIDING A-RISERS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBGD have added a dedicated sliding A-riser that has a split higher on the risers than usual, which means pilots who naturally grasp all the A’s to launch will enjoy a smoothly and clean inflation without a tendency to overfly or collapse, even if the launch pull is a little over-enthusiastic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eROLLER CAM TRIMMERS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trimmers have a new roller-cams, as on the Icon, which are slip-free, easy and smooth to operate while reducing wear on the webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2D steering system allows precise control of the trailing edge of the glider.
