This allows a homogenous force distribution throughout the wing. Rigorous strength analysis determined the positioning of the slots and these have reduced the weight of the PHANTOM S to less than 5kg, which makes it suitable for hike \u0026amp; fly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h2\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. 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\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\u003eMore compact\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u003ch3\u003eLight as a feather and robust\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery light but still durable: Light weight NOVA wings weigh little but are still robust enough to withstand the hard conditions of the mountains. The profiles are made out of durable cloth, so that this highly-stressed component does not deform - like it can with ultra-light material.
