PRION 5 technologies

Brake lines with colour gradient
The colour gradient (from green to yellow to red) enables the pilot
for the first time to correctly dose the brake travel by means of
visual control. This can help to prevent accidental stalling. The
green and yellow area are used for steering, the red area is for
the flare when landing.
Mid Cell Rods
The clever placement of nylon reinforcements in the middle of each
cell make for even better launch characteristics. This is the first
time in the PRION series they have been used.
More compact
The aspect ratio of a glider is not the only factor in passive
safety, but still a very important one. A high aspect ratio
favours cravats after asymmetric collapses, generally shortens
brake travel and normally makes wings more difficult to fly.
Nova's analytical tools permit us to build performance wings
even with a low or moderate aspect ratio.
Our idea of a three-liner with less line length allows us to construct
wings with very good performance and a high degree of passive
safety. The way we have conceptualised the lines has made it
possible to manufacture wings which are collapse resistant;
but when they do collapse, the collapsed area is
generally less extensive. This significantly improves
the wing's extreme flight behaviour.
All NOVA paragliders are made to be easy to use. For packing you
can use a concertina bag, but it is not essential. Our extensive
experience with rods has taught us that the packing method has
little influence on the durability of the wing. Bent rods quickly
spring back into their original shape.
Paragliders in the weight-optimised category are lighter than
conventional paragliders but offer the same mechanical stability
and durability. These wings are lighter to carry, easier to
launch and are therefore suitable for hike & fly.
Weight-optimised is aimed at pilots who appreciate
light weight without compromising on durability.
