The canopy provides clear feedback that is easy to understand, making it a pleasant companion for beginner and experienced pilots alike. The performance in glide across the entire speed-range is well above its predecessor the ION 4.

The wing is suitable for talented beginners as well as experienced pilots with cross-country ambitions. From each ION generation to the next, the demands on the pilot have remained the same.

On the 16th of June he was already able to do a 145 km flight from the Stallersattel – with an average speed of over 30 km\/h! Until he was washed down near Sterzing due the northerly wind, the Austrian pilot was able to keep up with several high-performance wings piloted by some world-class pilots. Read the full story \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nova.eu\/en\/news-stories\/article\/news\/light-and-high-performing\/\" title=\"Berni Pessl about the NOVA ION 5 Light after flying record-breaking FAI triangle in Slovenia\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Double 3D Shaping\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Double_3D_Shaping.jpg\" title=\"Double 3D Shaping\"\u003e\u003c\/p\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\u003cimg alt=\"Nova Smart Cells\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Nova-Smart-Cells.jpg\" title=\"Nova Smart Cells\"\u003e\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\u003cimg alt=\"Easy Packing\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Easy_Packing.jpg\" title=\"Easy Packing\"\u003e\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. Nova's extensive experience with rods has taught us 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\u003cimg alt=\"Low Aspect Ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Nova-Low-Aspect-Ratio.jpg\" title=\"Low Aspect Ratio\"\u003e\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 us to build performance wings even with a low or moderate aspect ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Weight Optimised\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Weight_Optimised.jpg\" title=\"Weight Optimised\"\u003e\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 light weight without compromising on durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Nova Air Scoop\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Nova-Air-Scoop.jpg\" title=\"Nova Air Scoop\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnder pressure.\u003c\/strong\u003e NOVA Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which increases the internal wing pressure. Nova's Air Scoop principle is similar to the ram-air inlet duct on a sports car: increased airflow produces higher pressure.
