ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND FLYING PLEASURE
Our new innovative intermediate wing.
With the Bird we've achieved several aims :
Create a wing that combines passive safety, performance, manoeuvrability and flying pleasure.
Passive safety:
- Aspect ratio limited to 5.33.
- Line layout 4 layers at the centre and 3 at the wingtips.
- Long brake travel.
Performance:
- Total line length reduced by 13 % compared to the SPORT (266 instead of 301 m for size M)
- Innovative leading edge with P14 © composite rods and a baby Shark-nose.
Manoeuvrability:
- Efficient braking design with 1/3 of brake line attachments equipped with trailing edge tensioners at the wingtips.
Flying pleasure:
- Easy inflation.
- Flies fast with hands up.
- Reacts quickly to brake inputs.
Maintaining the reliability and durability for which our wings are known.
-
Fabric 100% Porcher Sport UNIVERSAL orientated according to the direction of stress:
-

-
- Fully sheathed lines: Edelrid, Aramide or Dyneema according to location.

Risers from 20mm polyester webbing.
- Leading edge reinforced with our new P14 rods with which retain their shape.
Achieving a light weight without flimsy materials
- Cleaver design makes the BIRD more than 500g lighter than the SENSO, whilst keeping the same materials.
