14 Section 03 Technical Description
thus takes shape much more quickly and
the glider immediately begins to rise up
from the ground. The back part of the
canopy is filled with air only slowly during
the subsequent stage of inflation, which
results in very harmonious and smooth
launch behaviour without any tendency
to overshoot or launch the pilot
unintentionally.
Flight behaviour
It is in turbulent air that RAST really
puts its strengths into play, effectively
stabilising the canopy and gently
calming turbulent air.
This makes the NYOS RS extremely
stable and forgiving, which results in
noticeably improved precision and
comfort during flight, and consequently
also more control and better
performance for the pilot.
Collapse behaviour
If there are any stability problems, RAST
prevents the canopy from suddenly
and/or completely emptying because the
air is not able to escape as quickly from
the rear section.
However, it allows a sufficiently large
area of the glider to collapse to dampen
and dissipate energy. With RAST
technology, collapses more than 50% of
the wing depth can only be simulated
with great difficulty and to date have
not been experienced in practice even in
very thermic and turbulent conditions.
A paraglider equipped with the RAST
system empties more slowly, has less
tendency to turn and opens more
quickly.
This means that there is much less loss
of height than for the same design
without RAST.

TIP
Do not be tempted by the increased
safety offered by RAST into taking
greater risks. Instead, you should use
RAST as your personal crumple zone
if there is ever a situation where you
have misjudged conditions.
Line system
The NYOS RS has A, B and C- line levels,
which fork twice from the bottom (riser)
to the top (canopy) and which are
divided into main, middle and top lines.
The individual line levels are connected
with one another using the “handshake
knot”.
The Maintenance and Service book has a
detailed line connection plan, showing
the individual levels, connections and line
descriptions.
With the brake lines, the individual levels
are bundled at the end with the main
brake line. This runs through the brake
pulley on the riser and is knotted at the
brake swivel of the control handle. There
is a mark on the main brake line which
allows the control handle to be correctly
positioned.
WARNING
Please make sure that you comply
with the service intervals for the lines
which are given in the Maintenance
and Service book. These must be
observed under all circumstances.
The lines used for the NYOS RS have
a diameter of less than 1mm. There
is a risk that the lines will break if
they are handled incorrectly or if the
service intervals are not observed.
The main lines are all attached to
Maillon quick links. The lines are fed
