2. THE WING
WHO SHOULD FLY Nucleon WRC?
You have been paramotoring for some time now. You know and appreciate
performance and safety of the reflex-aerofoil paragliders. Even if you are
currently flying only for fun, long routes are attracting you no less than a wish to
prove yourself against the best international competitors, or to beat some record.
You are not afraid of strong thermals, and the agility tasks close to the ground
look promising too.
What you need is a top-drawer paraglider; a canopy that will be safe and stable
both at top and low speeds, with with efficient trimmers and speed system, as
well as a precise steering, capable of quick reversing your paraglider. On top of
that it has to be robust, so that high loads occurring at frequent PPG flying will
not cause any deformations of the surface.
If most of the above statements do apply to you, then the Nucleon is your wing!
2.1
DESIGN
Nucleon is an Action and Reaction class paraglider, built around a new idea
already proven in Synthesis and Plasma. The new concept assumes linear
characteristics of acceleration (equally shared between trims and speed
system) and limited reflexivity at slow trim settings. It is accompanied by a
number of new design features, intensively tested since 2007 and introduced
into mass production for the for the first time in the world. As a result we
have a 100% reflex PPG paraglider with great performance and outstanding
safety (comparable to the already legendary Reaction), featuring handling
similar to classic paragliders (at low speeds). The Nucleon WRC takes off
perfectly, rising fast and clean after an easy inflation.
We are positively sure that the Nucleon is currently the best paraglider in its
class.
The fundamental feature of a good PPG canopy is its great stability and
tuck-resistance. When this is achieved, the user does not have to
concentrate all the time on piloting in turbulent air, thus saving energy for
navigation, taking pictures or simply enjoying the flight. In addition the faster
and safer your paraglider is, the more often you can fly. While the Nucleon
was designed to retain features of a classic paraglider, the application of a
reflex aerofoil section added several new qualities. First of all, using that
profile means that the wing stability does not depend exclusively on the pilot.
It maintains a stable pitch attitude, rising and falling through thermals while
remaining stable above your head, without need for so much pilot input.
Generally speaking the reflex profile is a special kind of aerofoil section. The
specific static pressure distribution creates a situation where at low attack
angles, only the wing fore part (some 60% of the chord) is producing lift,
while the rear 40% of the chord creates an effective stabiliser against
