The airfoil, planform, internal structure, wingtips and line layout have all been redesigned to create a new generation of Explorer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt remains intuitive, communicative and easy to place in the air, while delivering more glide and speed from a more stable, solid and collapse-resistant platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNEW GENERATION AIRFOIL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParagliders do not have a horizontal tail to stabilise pitch in the way conventional fixed-wing aircraft do. The pitching behaviour therefore has to come largely from the airfoil itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Explorer 3, we developed a new profile with more inherently stable pitching characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts geometry moves further towards the stable end of the airfoil spectrum, shifting the pitching moment towards a more nose-up tendency. In practical terms, the profile has a stronger natural tendency to maintain its attitude without relying as heavily on pilot input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the pilot, this translates into a wing that feels calmer in turbulent air, maintains its pitch more naturally and behaves more progressively when disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRAKED TIPS.
