Just a light pull is necessary to make the canopy rises above the pilot and passenger in a controlled and even manner. In comparison to its predecessor, this tandem is more comfortable to land due to the new wing design and the optimised brake configuration. In the final landing phase, the wing converts every brake input and ensures a safe and controlled flare...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaximum potential and fun.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BION 2’s precise handling means that a little brake input results in the desired reaction. Thanks to the significant trim travel and the resulting wide speed range, the wing maintains its precision across the entire weight range of 120 kg to 225 kg. This balance of flight characteristics, coupled with great performance, provides new opportunities for cross-country pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrepared for every eventuality.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who flies a tandem carries a great responsibility. Your demand for a high degree of safety will be fulfilled with the BION 2. Nova made sure the BION 2 is “NOVA standard\" by testing it more than the required certification tests and Nova can guarantee the highest degree of passive safety. These high safety standards should be a dream come true for all responsible tandem pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUseful information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe BION 2 has only three line areas. This reduces drag and simplifies line sorting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe risers have also benefited from eliminating the fourth line area. They are lighter, easier to handle and this makes inflating the canopy simpler.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe undersurface of the BION 2 is made from lightweight material, the weight of the risers has been reduced and the internal wing construction has been optimised. In comparison to the BION 1, this is a weight reduction of 700 grams, whilst retaining the same durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe new profile demonstrates excellent thermalling characteristics when the trimmers are closed. With the trimmers open, the BION 2 offers unusually high speed with excellent glide performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlat profile nose.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anyone who tries to fold a piece of paper around a ball will notice that there are always creases. The nose profile of a paraglider is the same - the sail cloth has to adjust to both the profile and ballooning effect (cells are round, not straight). Double 3D Shaping uses additional seams to reduce creasing and therefore increases the performance of the wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimised cell widths.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smart Cells counteract the variable force distribution within the wing that are caused by the line attachments. In NOVA paragliders constructed using SmartCells, the cell widths have been adapted to the load - basically, intelligent cells. Wings with SmartCells fly more calmly, are more compact and glide better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort on the ground.\u003c\/strong\u003e All NOVA paragliders are made to be easy to use. For packing, you can use a concertina bag, but it is not essential. Their extensive experience with rods has taught them that the packing method has little influence on the durability of the wing. Bent rods quickly spring back into their original shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess is more.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nova's idea of a three-liner with a reduced amount of line length allows us to construct wings with very good performance and a high degree of passive safety. The way Nova has conceptualised the lines has made it possible to manufacture wings which are collapse resistant; but when they do collapse, the collapsed area is generally less extensive. This significantly improves the wing's extreme flight behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore compact.\u003c\/strong\u003e The aspect ratio of a glider is not the only factor in passive safety, but still a very important one. A high aspect ratio favours cravats after asymmetric collapses generally shortens brake travel and normally makes wings more difficult to fly. Nova's analytical tools permit Nova to build performance wings even with a low or moderate aspect ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight and durable.\u003c\/strong\u003e Paragliders in the Weight-optimised category are lighter than conventional paragliders - but offer the same mechanical stability and durability. These wings are lighter to carry, easier to launch and are therefore suitable for hike \u0026amp; fly. Weight-optimised is aimed at pilots who appreciate lightweight without compromising on durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrimmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the trimmers are fully closed, the maillons are not at the same level, as is normally the case; the C-riser can be shortened even more in comparison to the A-riser. This trimmer setting offers the best handling in thermals with reduced sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the BION 2 trimmers are fully open the wing impresses with an unusually high top speed, which provides you with more safety on windy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\"
