Opposite a corner is an edge, where the airflow is significantly different. This counteracts the dreaded oscillating effect. The resulting pendular stability is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFast and reliable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFive corner vents assist fast inflation in the opening phase. Opening is faster and more reliable than with conventional parachutes. Inspired by round canopy parachutes, the design of the PENTAGON Light utilises an adapted reefing system. This slows a parachute from opening too rapidly. The very low sink rate is 5.2 m\/s for size 85.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight-optimised light version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PENTAGON Light weighs on average approximately 300 grams less than the \u003cu\u003ePENTAGON\u003c\/u\u003e and therefore represents its significantly lighter version. Thanks to its low weight and small packing volume, the PENTAGON Light is perfect for hike \u0026amp; fly (competitions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: due to its extremely lightweight construction, the PENTAGON Light is not suitable for repeated deployments with water landings during SIV\/pilotage courses. The PENTAGON Light must be checked by an authorised workshop after each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUncomplicated packing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA prerequisite for quick opening is that the parachute is packed regularly. The PENTAGON Light is quick and easy to pack. The base and centre lines are all the same length and equal distance from each other. They are also colour-coded. This means that the risk of errors during packing have nearly been eliminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe ultimate in lightness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for hike \u0026amp; fly, climb \u0026amp; fly and vol biv, ultra-lightweight products are built to be as light and compact as possible.

Unlike a circle or a square, a five-sided object lacks point symmetry. In other words, in a pentagon, on the opposite side of a corner is an edge and opposite every edge is a corner. Regardless if the initial pendular impulse is towards a corner or an edge, the restoring force in a pentagon is clearly different. The pendular movement is disrupted and this dampens unwelcome oscillations, which in turn greatly reduces the risk of a hard impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.nova.eu\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/parachutes\/PENTAGON\/icons\/Quick_Inflation.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"103\" height=\"142\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the short lines, the time between deployment and the lines being taut is very quick. The five corner vents assist a fast inflation and the low overall canopy height of the PENTAGON and PENTAGON Light reduces the volume to be filled. Altogether this means that the PENTAGON and PENTAGON Light are fully open very quickly after only loosing a little height. This is not only critical when close to the ground, but it also reduces the risk of the PENTAGON and PENTAGON Light getting tangled in the paraglider's lines before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.nova.eu\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/parachutes\/PENTAGON\/icons\/Easy_Repacking.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"109\" height=\"130\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Repacking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll base lines of the PENTAGON and PENTAGON Light are all the same length and colour-coded.
