The MANX in Details
The canopy
Caution: At the time of dispatch, each MANX corresponds to the
certified version. Any arbitrary change beyond the registered
adjustment possibilities (see appropriate chapter) dangerously
affects the flight behaviour and is prohibited!
The canopy of the MANX is made of extremely strong, especially
coated Porcher Marine fabric which when treated properly (see
chapter Care and maintenance) has proved to be extraordinarily
wear-resistant and airtight, so that you will enjoy safety and
excellent resale value of your MANX for a long time.
The top surface is produced with our new Hybrid technique, with
the first third being made up with the 9092 E85A 44g material,
while the latter two thirds made up with 9017 E77A 40 g material.
This well tested Material-Mix guarantees a high quality, longer life
and a higher class of safety due to the overall lightness to the
canopy. Both materials are impregnated in a water repellent
coating which helps maintain the porosity for a longer period.
The bottom surface uses the 9017 E38A 40g material which
again optimises the overall weight of the glider.
Diagonally stiffened Porcher Marine fabric 9017 E29A (Hard
finnish) was our choice for the profile and ribs in order to
guarantee maximum profile accuracy in connection with the load
optimised force penetrations for induced forces. The profile of the
MANX was particularly calculated for the demands of a modern
paraglider by the aerodynamics specialist Dani Loritz and shows
an unusually high range of angle of attack.
Leading and trailing edge are reinforced with a polyester band, air
intake holes and partly closed cells are stiffened for best
attributes for launching and high speeds.
The round shape of the cell openings as well as the partially
closed cells were chosen to guarantee a balanced tension ratio
between upper and lower surface and at the same time to keep
the openings at the leading edge which normally are
disadvantageous to performance as small as possible.
The MANX is not equipped with a stabilizer in the traditional
sense. It has been reduced to a winglet of the smallest possible
