EONA 4: TAKE OFF ON A NEW ADVENTURE

Practice

• Learning and progress

The EONA 4 is both the ideal first glider for paragliding pilot beginner pilots and an ideal tool for the instructor accompanying them.

Optimized inflation, uniform glider rise and solid structure... Special attention has been paid to the glider structure and canopy to maximize the level of passive safety and make learning as accessible as possible.

Thanks to the R&D efforts of Supair's design team, the EONA 4 benefits from innovations borrowed from design high-performance glider design methods, resulting in a glider school that's solid, reassuring and fun to fly.

Whether through the addition of winglets or the redesign of its internal structure, the EONA 4 sees its internal structure and canopy completely reworked, offering the pilot beginner an intuitive and forgiving glider. The pilot will feel secure, while the instructor will have no trouble anticipating the behavior of the glider in any aerological condition.

Have unlimited fun with the EONA 4 on the school slopes and in the air! Materials have been carefully selected for maximum durability. Similarly, the more even distribution of loads and tensions on the Airfoil and the dirt evacuation system guarantee a long life span life for your paraglider.

The EONA 4 is the ideal paraglider for discovering the sky with complete peace of mind.

Understanding your glider

The EONA 4 has just one mission: to let you enjoy your first flights. Smoothness and ease are the watchwords of this new generation of EONA, the ideal school glider.

But where does this indulgent attitude come from? Why is the turn so gradual? What are winglets for?

These terms can seem abstract when you're just starting out. That's why Supair help you understand how your first paraglider was conceived and designed:

The winglets

This fourth generation is the first to feature winglets on the stabs. These winglets influence the glider's behavior and indirectly improve its performance.

To guarantee the safety of its pilot, a glider dedicated to learning must be stable spiral. A spiral is a rapid rotation around an axis close to the glider. Although this manoeuvre is deliberately used by more experienced pilots to lose altitude, it can sometimes be very rapid, generating a strong centrifugal force that needs to be mastered. While pilots need to learn how to manage this manoeuvre on higher-performance gliders, a glider school glider must be capable of exiting this manoeuvre on its own, without the need for any pilot action - this is what they call spiral stability.

To achieve this, the angle of incidence of the wingtips on paragliders used in schools is increased to generate drag, which slows down the glider if it enters a spiral, causing it to exit and return to flight straight. The disadvantage of this method is that it degrades the straight-line performance of the glider, as the nose-up wingtips constantly create drag.

To enhance the glider's performance, the winglets are aligned with the airflow at flight and do not create drag. It is when the glider enters a spiral that the winglets generate drag, which has the effect of limiting paraglider 's speed in the spiral and helping it to exit and return to flight.

Innovative structure

Whether in terms of performance, riding comfort or even maintenance of the glider, the new internal structure of the EONA 4 makes everyday life easier for the rider.

The internal structure refers to the Fabrics located inside the Cells of the glider and which allow the maintenance of a good Airfoil. This is the "skeleton" of your paraglider.

Cut-outs are made on the inner Ribs / roads . The cut-outs, made using a The cut laser, serve to reduce the glider's weight. A lighter glider will inflate more easily and have less inertia in its movements at flight. Thanks to these features, the EONA 4 is easy to handle and anticipate, whether for the pilot beginner or the instructor accompanying them.

A strip has been added to the rear of the Airfoil, running along its entire span. Its purpose is to homogenize the glider's behavior across its entire Airfoil. This feature of the internal structure limits deformation of the glider and ensures consistency between the feathers and the center of the Airfoil. Getting to grips with the EONA 4 is quick and straightforward.

Finally, the wingtips have been widened to increase their strength at flight, resulting in feathers that are much more resistant to closure. This design element ensures a High level of passive safety in all aerological conditions.

New brakes

The EONA 4 is also a paraglider of choice for learning to wind your first thermals.

Braking has a direct influence on the glider's performance in flight thermals, so they've chosen a braking system that favors flat turns. This type of braking, more focused on the center of the glider, prevents the glider from diving in the turn, making your first thermal turns easier.

Thanks to this behavior, it's easier to optimizeLift / thermic to enjoy your first thermal laps without difficulty.

Material durability

When you start flying paraglider, many hours of inflation await you. The glider you learn with must be able to stand up to all tests, including repeated friction with the ground during inflation. That's why the designers on the Supair team have individually selected the best materials to create a glider that combines durability and lightness.

The Fabrics parts exposed to friction and subjected to the greatest stress are chosen for their robustness and durability. The parts less subject to abrasion benefit from lighter Fabrics in order to reduce the weight of the glider for smooth handling and a good climb on inflation.

Thanks to the redesigned diagonals, tensions are distributed more evenly across the Airfoil of the glider, so you benefit from a more durable, deformation-resistant design glider that maintains its performance over time Line .

In keeping with this desire to offer a durable glider that can stand up to the vagaries of learning, the internal Ribs / roads ends a few centimetres before the Trailling edge. All glider Cells are interconnected, facilitating the movement of dust and other residues to the Cells wingtips, which are equipped with dedicated openings for emptying the glider.

Thanks to a new design for the air inlets, each box is shaped using a unique Rush. In the event of a worn or damaged Rush on the leading edge, the "Easy Remove Roads System" enables rapid replacement, specifically designed for easy, low-cost workshop maintenance.

As you can see, the EONA 4's mission is to make paraglider accessible to everyone. All its features have been designed to make it easy for pilots to learn beginner. Whether you're practising on the ground or at flight, this glider will accompany you step by step as you progress, while ensuring the highest level of passive safety High.
