2. ABOUT THE WING
For whom is the Nemo XX?
Nemo XX is a modern training/recreational paraglider with good
performance and great safety. Originally intended for novice free-flying
pilots, due to its stability it is well suited to training, towing and PPG flying as
well.
THE PROJECT
Nemo XX is the successor of very popular Nemo2 in the training/recreational
paragliders' class. Basically it is a free-flight wing, designed with most
modern engineering software, the Glider Plan.
Three-row canopy with rigid cores (Dudek FlexiEdge technology) capitalizes
on recent knowledge gained while testing three- and two-liner sport protos.
Inner reinforcements, structural cores and mini-ribs perfectly shape and
stabilize the high-lift aerofoil. Well thought-out three-row rigging markedly
decreases drag, thus enhancing overall performance. Mini-ribs on the trailing
edge keep it slim and decrease ballooning, radically improving the airflow. All
these combined solutions result in high glide ratio in this class, and
outstanding safety confirmed by EN A certification.
During work on Nemo XX we put a lot of attention into flight safety, good
steering, ease of operation, good performance and - last but not least - good
look. In several prototypes leading to the final Nemo XX we tested different
profiles, planforms and curvatures against turbulence and instability in
various situations. Additionally, the selected airfoil was sampled and
optimalised with dedicated CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) software.
New engineering possibilities combined with Piotr Dudek's designer
experience resulted in a perfectly stabilised canopy, ideally fulfilling every
pilot's expectations.
Nemo XX is safe, good performing, easy launching canopy. Its versatility is
confirmed with good towing (Computational fluid dynamics) and perfect PPG
characteristics.
We are satisfied to see that Nemo XX is one of the best paragliders of its
class curently available.
