TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The
SOL KANGAROO 2
represents a perfect combination of performance
and safety.
The SOL KANGAROO 2 is a slim, elliptical wing with a slightly rearward
swept plan form. 51 cells ensure a smooth top surface, exact airfoil
reproduction, and yet most importantly, fewer suspension points. The
SOL KANGAROO 2 has greatly reduced the number of lines used and
thus the associated parasitic drag, which especially at high speed, gives it
an exceptional glide angle and an easy handling for a Tandem glider.
Eight additional cells form a clean wing tip and stabilisers ensure stable
straight flight and coordinated turns.
The profile of the
SOL KANGAROO 2
was selected from a large range of
outstanding computer calculated, aerofoils. This aerofoil offers above all,
excellent stability.
The SOL KANGAROO 2 presents a closed leading edge to the airflow,
while internal Mylar reinforcements maintain its precise form. The cell
openings of the SOL KANGAROO 2 are on the undersurface. Integrated,
stretch resistant Dacron flares at the suspension points ensure equal
distribution of load throughout the canopy.
Large cross port vents allow effective airflow inside the canopy, providing
good reinflation without affecting the profile of the canopy.
