overshooting.
Flying this wing is very intuitive, with clear and useful feedback about the
airmass. It responds to the pilot’s inputs effectively and even in turbulent
conditions it remains stable and solid.
The KLIMBER P navigates the airmass efficiently. It enters thermals
with sufficient speed to centre in the lift and climbs progressively. The
handling is progressive and effective for even more flying pleasure under
an exciting wing of extraordinary quality.
It is lightweight, even lighter in flight and easy to pilot, with outstanding
turbulence buffering and a surprising range of speed for incredible glides.
1.4 ASSEMBLY, MATERIALS
The KLIMBER P has all the technological innovations used on other
Niviuk gliders and is built with the most careful selection of current
lightweight materials. It has all the current technology and accessories
available to improve pilot comfort whilst increasing safety and
performance.
RAM - the Ram Air Intake system is characterised by the arrangement
of the air inlets, to ensure optimal maintenance of internal pressure. The
result? Better tolerance of turbulence, greater consistency across the
speed range and better performance without compromising on safety.
Titanium Technology (TNT) – a revolutionary technique using titanium.
Using Nitinol in the internal construction provides a more uniform profile
and reduces the weight to gain efficiency in flight. Nitinol provides the
highest level of protection against deformation, heat or breaks.
SLE - the use of the SLE considerably reduces the amount of Mylar
which was used in previous Niviuk wings and this also reduces the
weight of the leading edge and therefore the wing inflates more easily
than one without this system.
3DP - the optimal distribution of cloth tension has been achieved by
cutting individual sections, paying attention to the orientation of the
fabric and using 3D modelling.
3DL- there is an additional seam on the leading edge for a cleaner profile,
no creases for less drag and a better load distribution.
IKS - is an ultralight connection system specially designed for mountain
and lightweight equipment. With less weight than the traditional delta
maillon it is nevertheless much stronger.
The IKS1000 is designed and dimensioned as a connection system
between the risers and the lines. It has a breaking load of 1055 kg, which
greatly exceeds that of the classic 3mm (550 kg) maillon, but with a much
less weight. This feature makes it a key element in the entire range of
P-Series (lightweight) wings, which are delivered with this technology as
standard.
Please note: the IKS1000 kg system was not designed nor certified
to connect the risers to the harness and/or a rescue parachute to the
harness. For that specific function, Niviuk developed the IKS3000. For
