About the Hornet
Materials
The use of high-tech materials guarantees a long life and a damage-resistant, reliable
glider. These are our pre-requisites for quality manufacturing of Firebird gliders.
Appropriate care and maintenance of your equipment will guarantee its longevity and
years of flying pleasure.
Firebird's canopys use 40 g/m2 Porcher Marine Ripstop Nylon with Softfinish for the
top and under sail, Hardfinish for the ribs, and an especially water resistant coated top
sail. The cloth has been chosen for its excellent UV resistance and tear strength.
Our DHV approved lines are made of ARAMID-Centers with a polyester sheaths.
These materials have been tested rigorously in order to pass DHV certification.
Canopy Construction
The canopy of the HORNET has 49 cells. The specially-cut cell entries on the leading
edge guide the Rammed air created through the air flow into the canopy.
The profile of the HORNET is due to the profile and diagonal lines which connect the
top ands under sail and thus equalize and distribute the pressure on the sail evenly.
Pressure equalizing openings in the cell walls permit a homogenous distribution of
pressure throughout the canopy. The basic construction and design of the HORNET
give it its notable stability even in extreme situations.
Production
Before a HORNET glider leaves our company, it is tested and surveyed by Firebird
expert technicians. During the standard quality control belt and line lengths are
checked and inspected so that they meet approved norms. Any unauthorized and
unapproved modifications to Firebird equipment releases Firebird and its staff from
any liability and will cancel any warranty provided by the manufacturer.
