and the IKS3000, each one designed as a connection system for different
parts of the wing.
The IKS1000 is designed and dimensioned as a connection system
between the risers and the lines. It has a breaking load of 1055 kg, which
greatly exceeds that of the classic 3 mm (550 kg) maillon, but with a
much less weight. This feature makes it a key element in the entire range
of P-Series (lightweight) wings, which are delivered with this technology
as standard.
The IKS3000 is designed to connect the risers and/or the parachute with
the harness. Its breaking load of 2960 kg makes it an ultralight alternative
to the 7 mm (3125 kg) maillon or an aluminium carabiner (2000 kg). The
IKS3000 design and concept make it ideal for mountaineering, hike & fly
and ultralight equipment.
In short, the IKS technology is an advance towards a greater lightness
in wings and equipment, without losing effectiveness and providing the
same degree of safety and strength.
SLE (Structured Leading Edge) - The SLE is a rigid structure located
at the leading edge of the wing that eliminates the need for old-
fashioned mylar reinforcements in this area, thus reducing the weight
and increasing the durability of the wing. The leading edge will also
have better turbulence absorbing qualities. In addition, the SLE provides
greater solidity and strength in the leading edge to maintain its shape at
all speeds and angles of attack, thus increasing performance.
3DP (3D Pattern Cut Optimization) - This technology seeks to
implement the best orientation of the cloth on each panel according to
its location on the leading edge. If the cloth pattern is correctly aligned
with the load axes, the cloth suffers less deformation flight after flight, so
the leading edge keeps its shape better and maintains its durability over
time. The design of our paraglider and paramotor wings has evolved a lot
over the years, significantly affecting the leading edge.
The application of this innovation, in conjunction with the 3DL, is key to
converting the perfect shape from 2D to 3D.
3DL (3D Leading Edge) - 3DL technology is an adjustment of the fabric
at the leading edge of the wing to control the ballooning and the creases
that are generated by the curvature in this area. The leading edge is
then divided into sub-panels which are sewn into each of the cells at
the front of the wing. As a result, the leading edge of the wing is more
evenly tensioned, which benefits the wing in performance and durability.
As an example, because of its similarity, imagine a rugby ball. In order to
produce its characteristic oval shape without wrinkles, its cover is made
of several panels - not of just one piece.
The application of this innovation, in conjunction with the 3DP, is key to
converting the perfect shape from 2D to 3D.
STE (Structured Trailing Edge) - The STE provides a rigid structure
at the trailing edge in order to maintain its shape in accelerated flight.
In addition, the rigidity provided by these elements improves the load
distribution, reducing wrinkles, and consequently drag, and therefore
ensuring better performance.
DRS (Drag Reduction Structure) - With the application of the DRS,
the airflow at the trailing edge is directed more progressively along the
adverse pressure gradient with the aim of reducing the aerodynamic drag
produced in this area. This increases performance without compromising
safety or control of the wing.
RSD (Radial Sliced Diagonal) - RSD (Radial Sliced Diagonal)
technology improves the internal structure of the wing, incorporating
different independent diagonal ribs oriented more efficiently, i.e. in the
optimal direction of the fabric, improving the strength and reducing
weight and deformation. Currently, most paragliders have diagonal ribs
connected from the attachment points to the adjacent profiles with the
aim of reducing the number of attachment points, the number of lines
and improving load distribution.
