DESIGN
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Construction of the canopy:
The canopy of the Charger 2 has a wingspan with 50 cells. The wingtips are slightly pulled
down to act as a stabilizer. The design of the Charger 2 is a combination of second and
third rib diagonal-construction. Every main rib is attached to 4 or 5 suspension lines.
Between these main suspension ribs, intermediate ribs are suspended by diagonal
segments. As complicated as this sounds, this construction ensures a smooth top surface
and precise air foil design increasing performance and safety.
The internal reinforcements maintain the precise form of the canopy and increases
stability. The cell openings on the under-surface of the leading edge provide good airflow
into the glider. Load bearing support straps with diagonal ribs at the suspension points
ensure an even distribution of load throughout the canopy. Stretch resistant Mylar strips on
the top and bottom panels of the openings run the length of the trailing edge defining the
wingspan.
