Snake

You are an experienced pilot that tasted flying slalom and intends to compete with the best. Looking for a quick and back wing with excellent handling and a small turning radius. It must also be resistant to turbulence, which is at stake, in principle, only the self-stabilizing wing.

Snake is a design for experienced pilots serving in the disciplines of slalom, or those who simply like dynamic maneuvers and sudden changes in speed.
Snake comes standard with 2D controls and PA system (Power Attack system, also called the system Paap Kolar).

The main difference between Snake’m a hadron is a variation of the profile geometry using the trimmer, Speed ​​and Attack Power system (as was possible in the Nucleon and Plasma).

5.8 The extension wing has relatively few, because 58 chambers, quickly fills and levels the internal pressure.The leading edge is stiffened with synthetic cores (Flexi Edge Technology), which significantly improves the quality of the start and protect against deformation while flying at high speeds.

The wing has a rigging SL (most of braided lines, only a few near the canopy are bezoplotowe).

Standard 2D control system used is very well known to our sport pilots who are able to use it in our current PPG version sports rigging. It consists of two main control lines coming out of the handlebar, i.e. the inner cable through the control block and acting on the two thirds of the central and outer trailing edge attached to the third outer part of the brakes is not passing through the sheet.

Because of the separation of the main controller, an experienced pilot can adjust the progression of borrowing the trailing edge to your preference. Everything depends largely on the ingenuity and experience of the pilot.Pilots for which it is intended Snake usually they are able to choose the most appropriate type of control to their style of flying.

While Snake is designed so that it remains properties of conventional glider, using reflex section added some new features. First of all profile means that the stability of the wing is no longer exclusively on the pilot. It retains constant slope, and rising and falling through handling or turbulence does not change its position on the pilot’s head and does not require the intervention.

The trim and speed system allows you to change the angle of attack and raise the rear of the wing, making the projected area and the chord is reduced by about 15%. This increases the load on the surface of the paraglider and its speed. The increase pitch stability also move the center of pressure forward. This change in load gives Snake resistance to collapse and increases its projected aspect ratio, so that the pilot can enjoy a much better performance in flight, especially at high speeds.

Less reflexivity Snake trim in closed position, in a certain part is compensated by its smaller size compared to the maximum take-off weight, which is associated with an increase in load factor of the surface.

Snake, like all of our wings is produced entirely in Europe, in our Polish factory, so we are able to from the beginning to the end to control its complex manufacturing process (laser technology).

 DFE-Dudek Flexi Egde

The wing is made ​​in the technology Dudek Flexi Egde . The leading edge is closed to air flow, and its precise shape by a strengthening of the laminated fabric with sewn additional synthetic core, which significantly improves the quality of the start and protect against deformation during flight at high speeds.

 CSG-Canopy Shape Guard

The entire body of Snake was designed in our system CSG (Canopy Shape Guard), which consists of many sub-systems resulting in exceptional consistency body and its durability.
Snake has a slightly elliptical outline of end terminals. The chambers are divided into objectives and the ribs additionally supported by a system of diagonal support levels VSS (V-shaped supports). This design provides a smooth top surface, exact aerofoil reproduction over the entire span, better weight distribution and more importantly, possibly a small number of suspension points.
On the lower surface of the wing’s interior reinforcements were used in the RSS (Reinforcing Strap System).RSS is a system independent of the ballooning reinforcements on the lower surface, strengthening and stiffening the whole canopy. These reinforcements are made ​​of strips of fabric.

CSG oversees three key factors:

  • Forms the canopy so that it becomes a form as close to the original design as possible load distribution. Lack of attention to the irregular shape and surface bulging wings (unfortunately still quite common to observe the phenomenon, even in ‘reputable’ manufacturers).
  • CSG stabilizes the canopy in flight. No remote control is not wing behaving like harmony, the more that severely corrupts his performance.
  • CSG also provides a canopy durable. In less sophisticated designs overload is paid for but soon deformations – the most dangerous are those that appear as lateral folds on the upper surface between the rows of lines from one to the other stabilizer. The Nucleon WRC possibility of occurrence of such deformation has been virtually eliminated.

 DRA- Dudek Reflex Airfoil

Snake aerodynamic profile is based on the technology of the DRA (Dudek Reflex Airfoil). It was developed based on the experience of our previous designs and tested numerically in a computer program. It is a reflex profile, the properties of which are presented in the introduction.
suspension points are reinforced with laminated fabric and the loads are equally distributed in three ways: vertically through the ribs at an angle of 45 degrees with the VSS system and horizontally through the RSS system .
Manufactured using OCD (Crossports Optimised Design) – shapes and are optimally placed between stress lines holes in the ribs provide good pressure inside the canopy and its quick inflation. These holes are scaled along with the ribs, so that their replicability is impeccable and not disturb the aerofoil.

Snake is manufactured using a new technology features precision laser cutter. All production takes place in Poland under strict control builder which provides the highest European quality.

On the upper surface of the fabric we used Dominico Tex weighing 41 g/m2.
Bottom Cover is made ​​of the same fabric with a weight of 34 g/m2
The ribs are made ​​of Dominico Tex 41 Hard.
suspension points on the strengthening and stiffening of attack used a fabric called SR-Scrim Porcher.

Almost all links wings are colored braided polyester covering a core inside. Only a few links are attached to the wing bezoplotowe. Due to the small number of lines required such strength, using links with brown core made ​​of a fiber Technora . This solution provides high strength and low elongation ropes.

All the links that attach the lines to the risers are made ​​of polished stainless steel, which provides superior strength and durability, and is resistant to corrosion. We use only approved links that do business PEGUET.

 ACS-Auto Cleaning slots

At the ends of the wings also used the ACS cleaning holes that allow you to automatically empty the ends of the wings of the accumulation of dirt there.

In Snake’u have chosen four risers are equipped with:

  • 2D – multi-function control (normal wheelhouse)
  • SCT handles (Sport Comfort Toggle) running Easy Keeper
  • ELR (Launch Easy Riser) – a system of easy start. This is an specially marked A (with a yellow band),,
  • speed system affecting the strip A, B and C, with a bearing pulleys and specially matched cord,
  • the speed system convenient Easy Catch
  • tape trimmer trimmer highlighted in red with an appropriate scale,
  • PA system (Power Attack) – a system that combines the speed and trimmer, causing automatic tempering liquid at the time of pressing the trimmer beam speed,
  • Various levels of the pulleys, which are used depending on the amount of suspension to the tapes pilot,
  • TCL (Tip Line Control) allows you to correct the direction and turns on full speed, without undue interference with the reflexivity profile. Control element is a separate cable in red attached to a suitable control cable leading to the end of the stabilizer.

 

Some elements may not work as well-known of our other construction systems ALC and TST
