developed to build the internal structure of the glider, brings a more
uniform profile, and hence reduces the overall wing weight to gain
efficiency in flight. The Nitinol provides the highest level of protection
against deformation, heat or breaks. Using this technological advance,
the glider is able to maintain its original features for a longer period of
time.
Double Effect System (DES) .
- With the implementation of the DES,
pilots can make the most out of the glider’s ability to perform to its full
potential using the speed bar. The DES keeps the trimmers in the default
closed position (the slowest) and will open them when accelerating
during the flight. When the speed-bar is released the DES brings the
profile back to the neutral and default position.
Structured Leading Edge (SLE) .
- The use of the SLE allows
reinforcement of the leading edge, preventing any deformation in
turbulence. The airflow is also vastly improved over the entire leading
edge of the glider.
Reflex System Profile (RSP) .
- Unlike conventional reflex designs,
the highly efficient Reflex System Profile requires less engine power to
achieve greater thrust, thus resulting in lower fuel consumption, more
autonomy and higher overall motor efficiency. The RSP profile improves
gliding, speed and safety.
3D Leading Edge (3DL) .
- Adding an extra seam to the longitudinal axis
of the glider helps building a cleaner profile with fewer creases and better
load distribution.
3D Pattern Cut Optimisation (3DP) .
- Cutting the fabric in a specific
directional angle according to each panel’s final location and positioning
results in a crease-free surface with better fabric tension.
RAM Air Intake (RAM) .
- The RAM Air Intake system is characterised
by the arrangement of the air inlets, to ensure optimal maintenance
of internal pressure. Thanks to this design, we were able to reduce
their size, while maintaining the same air flow at all angles to improve
laminar flow. Having greater internal pressure means better absorption
of turbulence, greater consistency of the profile across the speed
range, excellent handling at low speed is achieved by allowing the
pilot to extend the braking limit, there is a lower risk of collapse and
consequently, greater control and stability.
Double Steering System or High-speed tip steering is a simple and
effective tool for the pilot to turn effortlessly without touching the brake,
effectively preventing deformation of the profile and therefore preventing
a decrease in performance and speed.
From Olivier Nef’s computer to fabric cutting, the operation is a Zero
6 tolerance process. An automated computer laser-cutting robotic
arm creates each of the many sections needed to complete the wing
assembly. This program also paints the guideline markers and numbers
on each individual fabric piece.
The jigsaw puzzle assembly is made easier using this method and
optimises the operation while making the quality control more efficient.
All Niviuk gliders go through an extremely thorough and detailed final
inspection.
The fabric used to manufacture the glider is light, resistant and durable
and there will be no colour loss.
The DOBERMANN 2’s line cascade layout uses an analysed combination
of Dyneema and Vectram in order to support the load, depending on the
location of the line area.
The lines are semi-automatically cut to length and all the sewing is
completed under the supervision of our specialists.
Every line is checked and measured once the final assembly is
