Under pressure
NOVA Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which increases the
internal wing pressure. NOVA's Air Scoop principle is similar to
the ram-air inlet duct on a sports car: increased airflow produces
higher pressure. Higher internal pressure in a paraglider means
improved performance through increased structural stability and
collapse resistance.
Memory materials
What we mean by that is, for example, Nitinol. This material can be
bent when packing the equipment, but it always returns to its origi-
nal shape. This characteristic can be very useful! In paragliders, the
high-quality Nitinol rods replace the usual nylon rods. They are even
more robust and ensure an optimally shaped airfoil contour.

Triple 3D-Shaping
Triple 3D-Shaping could be called an anti-wrinkle treatment for
the nose of the wing: with three seams across the entire span of
the top sail, we reduce the number of creases which are a conse-
quence of the curvature over two axes. Triple 3D-Shaping divides
the sections to be folded into smaller subsections. This allows us
to get close to achieving the ideal crease-free form.
One obvious advantage of two-liners is the reduction of
drag caused by the lines. More important is the increased stability
and the possibility of B-steering. The B-handles can be used
to increase the angle of attack very directly and quickly without
deforming the airfoil. Consequently, you can fly faster with the
two-liner in lively air than with a three-liner.
When packing the XENON, we recommend using the Concertina
Bag Light and the inflatable Pack Roll included in the scope of
delivery. This makes packing simple, the rods will not be kinked and
the packing volume is as small as possible.
Very light but still durable: light weight NOVA wings weigh
little but are still robust enough to withstand the hard conditions of
the mountains. The profiles are made out of durable cloth,
so that this highly-stressed component does not deform – like
it can with ultra-light material. This means we are able to guarantee
consistent flying characteristics.
