with laminated fabric so that loads are equally distributed on three planes:
vertically (through the ribs), diagonally through VSS system and level
through the RSS.
All crossports have been prepared using OCD (Optimised Crossports
Design) technology. Carefully designed shapes of the openings and their
optimal placement between stress lines guarantee very efficient pressure
distribution in the canopy and its quick inflation. These openings are scaled
as an entity with the ribs, so that their replicability is flawless and they do not
disturb the aerofoil in any way.
Another major innovation is Snake XX’s use of the
Flexi-Egde technology. The leading edge is closed
to airflow, and its precise shape is guarded by
reinforcements of laminated fabric with synthetic
rods added. Their presence significantly improves the inflation and launch
quality, as well as additionally guards the canopy against deformations when
flown at high speeds.
The air intakes are placed on the lower surface close to
the leading edge, placed so that max pressure point
remains in the area at possibly many states of flight.
They are designed and executed in
Shark-nose
technology, meaning specific, concave shape of the reinforced profile area at
its leading edge (the name comes form the very shape, reminding shark's
nose). Due to such shape the intakes can be smaller and moved a bit back,
so that leading edge remains undisturbed and offers smooth airflow. The
internal pressure of the canopy stays stable within wide speed range. In
everyday flying this results in greater resistance to stalls (e.g. when
thermalling) and front collapses at high speeds.
On the wingtips we placed the ACS (Auto Cleaning
Slots) - dedicated slots automatically removing dirt
from inside the wing.
Careful selection of modern fabrics and design solutions brings about great
strength and durability of the Snake XX. All materials come from marked
production batches, and each production step can be verified down to
identification of specific worker and controller.
Snake XX is produced in new technology, utilizing
capabilities of precise laser cutter. All stages of the
production process take place as our Polish plant under close supervision of
the designer himself, thus ensuring highest European quality.
Fabric
Each kind of cloth has its own special qualitites. We merged them so that
they blend into a perfect composition.
