Certain key design points have been adressed with the Smik Parawing
- You need to know which way is the right way. Colour coded bridles, leading edge and custom carbon bar all help achieve this.
-STABILITY IN FLIGHT Due to a parawings relative inefficiency in powering you up onto your foil compared to inflatable wingfoiling, the wing has to be stable and pull from a controlled point and not be dancing around as to try to generate speed/ power and lift. 4sets of bridles help in achieving this stability.
WIND RANGE ; on a para wing is also very small compared to wingfoiling, wich is why we've aimed toget as much low end power as possible, whilst being able to de-power when overpowered. This is a fine balance in tuning getting the angle of attack on the leading edge right comined with the exhaust out the trailing edge, whilst not having the wing fold in half when under pressure.
LEADING EDGE ; needs to be able to sustain itself in low winds, whilst the wing tips shouldn't collapse when overpowered.
LIGHTWEIGHT ; Not only does the material need to be lightweight in order to compress easily and small for downwinding, but the light weight material actually enhances stability and improved handling through the jibes.
