1. Technical Description
The BRONTES is an elliptical plan glider constructed with 59 cells. The last four cells
at each wing tip are closed. The BRONTES is suspended at 20 load bearing cell
walls. The lines connect to the under-surface of the wing at 116 points. At the
harness connection, the
BRONTES has four main risers (A, B, C, and D) with
additional E-risers branching of the d-risers on sections 5 and 14.
“V”-ribs, or diagonal reinforcements, are used to spread the load from the lines in an
efficient manner while maintaining a smooth profile and reducing drag. This is design
contributes to the smooth finish of the wing and gives it exceptional performance.
High strength thin lines and a smooth profile contribute to the high performance of the
wing and exception glide angle, even at higher speeds.
The
BRONTES is equipped with “split” A-risers to facilitate the “big-ears” wing
reduction and descent manoeuvre. The brake (or “control”) lines are run through a
pulley connected to the D-riser. The Brake line length is set at the factory and is
clearly marked. Do not alter the brake line length. Resistance should be felt in flight
after 6 to 10 centimetres of travel.

Speed system
The
BRONTES is equipped with a standard speed system (foot-actuated lines running
to the fronts of the A-risers). The system works on the A, B, and C-risers, to varying
extents. The system lowers the angle of attack of the wing (the angle at which the
wing meets the air as it moves forward).
