NOVA PHOR2 Technical Description:

The NOVA PHOR2 offers professional tandem pilots an optimum of easy han-
dling, safety, confidence and durability.
The basic form of the NOVA PHOR2 is a slim, elliptical, slightly rearward swept
wing.

Buildup of canopy:

- 33 suspended cells
- 3 additional cells on each side form a clean wing tip
This buildup ensures a very good safety behaviour, a good profile form stability
and a stiff and rigid canopy.
The new wing tips ensure stable, straight flight and coordinated turns. It is offering
excellent safety after collapses. The new designed shape improves form stability
and load distribution.
The airfoil of the NOVA PHOR2 is computer calculated and selected from many
variations. The best profile was selected. It excels with very high safety and very
low brake pressure.
The NOVA PHOR2 presents a closed leading edge to the airflow. Extra strong
internal Dacron reinforcements maintain its precise form and provides stability. The
cell openings on the undersurface of the profile's nose provide airflow into the
glider. Stretch resistant Dacron flares ensure an even distribution of load through-
out the canopy.
Large cross port vents allow effective airflow inside the canopy, providing good
reinflation without reducing the profile accuracy.

Rigging system of the NOVA PHOR2:

The lines of the NOVA PHOR2 are made of strong and stretch resistant Polyester/
Polyethylene (Dyneema) and Polyester/Aramid (Technora) lines.
The entire rigging system comprises individual suspension lines looped and
stitched at each end.
The suspension lines are comprised of "cascaded top lines" (attached to the
undersurface), "cascaded middle lines" (cascade 2 to 4 top lines together), and
"main lines".
