reinforcements, incorporating synthetic rods. The rods make the leading edge
stiffer and smoother, bringing improvements in many areas - from easier
inflation, through stiffening the canopy in flight to improved general airflow.
The wing tips additionally feature ACS (Auto Cleaning Slots)
– as the name suggests, these are dedicated openings
automatically removing dirt from inside the canopy.
Careful selection of modern fabrics and design solutions brings about great
strength and durability of the Nemo XX. All materials used come from marked
production batches, and each production step can be verified down to
identification of specific worker and controller.
Nemo XX is manufactured under new technology, utilizing
precision of the laser cutter. All stages of production
process take place in Poland under strict supervision of the
designer himself, thus ensuring highest European quality.
CLOTH
Each kind of cloth has its own special qualitites. We merged them so that they
blend into a perfect composition.
The upper surface is made of 38-gram Porcher
cloth. Basically it's a nylon material, covered with
PU impregnate. Such covered fabric is not very
stiff and - what's most important - has increased tear,
stretch and UV resistance. It is not siliconised, so
minor repairs can be easily made with self-adhesive
strips.
Lower surface is made of 34-gram Dominico Tex cloth, contributing to low
weight of the canopy.
The ribs must be as rigid and stretch-resistant as possible. We found these
qualities in Porcher Hard Finish cloth (40 g/m2). All suspension points and
leading edge reinforcements are made of SR-Scrim fabric.
RIGGING SYSTEM
All Nemo XX lines have coloured polyester sheath
covering a core inside. Due to limited number of lines
we made sure they are strong enough by employing
brown TECHNORA cores. As a result is we have lines
that are both strong and offer high stretch resistance.
Rigging system consists of individual lines looped and stitched at each end.
The upper level (gallery) lines start at the suspension points of the canopy.
These lines connect to middle level ones, and these in turn adjoin by twos to
