The profiles are made out of durable cloth, so that this highly-stressed component does not deform - like it can with ultra-light material. This means we are able to guarantee consistent flying characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimised cell widths.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart Cells counteract the variable force distribution within the wing that are caused by the line attachments. In NOVA paragliders constructed using Smart Cells, the cell widths have been adapted to the load - basically, intelligent cells. Wings with Smart Cells fly more calmly, are more compact \u003cbr\u003eand glide better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLess is more.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 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 we have 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\u003ch3\u003eUnder pressure.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOVA Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which in-creases 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. Higher internal pressure in a paraglider means improved performance through increased \u003cbr\u003estructural stability and collapse resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComfort on the ground.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll NOVA paragliders are made to be easy to use. For packing you can use a concertina bag, but it is not essential. Our 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\u003ch3\u003eFlat profile nose.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who tries to fold a piece of paper around a ball will notice that there are always creases. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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 \u003ch2\u003eSpeedbrake Riser\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NOVA Speedbrake Riser is the first three-liner riser which permits the glider to be accelerated as well as decelerated.
