Reflex bridles produce longitudinal stability when the wing is at zero or negative angles
of attack. The reflex bridles work by preventing the trailing edge of the wing from
moving downward, as they are tethered to the king post assembly. When the wing has
any negative load on the top surface the rest of the lifting surface will move downward
relative to the trailing edge, effectively creating elevator type control surfaces that
produce a positive pitching moment, helping to restore level flight.
3.5.13 CORSET
The BioniX² wing is equipped with a configuration command that allows the setting of
cruise speed and the simultaneous adaptation of the shape of the sail in order to offer the
best maneuverability and the best performance depending on that speed. The command of
the CORSET is activated by a system of pulleys that tighten the two central battens,
acting on washout and reflex of the profile at the center of the sail. The CORSET is
activated by means of a control level located on the right A-frame strut. This lever
automatically locks in the selected position and activates a cone-shaped pulley on which
is wound the fine cord of the command.
3.5.14 Sail
The sail comprises the lifting surface of the wing. It is mainly constructed of UV
protected Trilam and Dacron polyester fabric, with some ABS and Mylar material
making up the leading edge areas. The sail is constructed from many individual panels,
which are sewn together using polyester thread to form the required shape. The sail has
attachment points sewn into it to attach to the frame at various points and to hold the
battens in place. The sail also provides zippers that facilitate easy preflight inspection of
all the members inside the double surface wing. The central part of the upper surface is
composed of a flexible fabric derived from neoprene which compensates for the
differences of tension due to the CORSET system. This part plays no mechanical role and
may easily be replaced thanks to the two zippers that hold it in place.
In as much as possible the wing must be stored away from sunlight, as UV rays cause
damage to the fabrics.
3.5.15 Tip Fins
The wing tip fins contribute to the stability of the wing in roll and yaw at high speeds.
They are made of a carbon composite material and attached to the wing by means of 3
quarter-turn screws. Flexibly mounted, they give way when the wing is placed on the
ground so that the end of the leading edge supports the force of any wind.
3.5.16 Special purpose equipment
Training Bars
The training bars are attached to the control bar and uprights in order to extend the
possibility to fly the aircraft from the back seat. They are supplied as an option for use by
qualified flight instructors.
