2. THE WING
For whom Universal?
Universal us the first paraglider ever to smoothly and efficiently merge two
aspects:
- nicely hadling free-flying paraglider (with EN/B certificate),
- full-blood paramotor canopy (conforming to DGAC standard).
Universal is dedicated for beginner and recreational pilots who fly:
- exclusively free (but want to benefit from moderate reflex ability)
- mostly free, sometimes with paramotor
- both free and paramotor
- mostly with paramotor, sometimes free
- exclusively paramotor (but appreciate better economy, easier launch and
nicer handling than in standard paramotor wing, like Synthesis2)
Universal is a great free-flying recreational paraglider, including cross-country.
Beginner XC pilots will surely appreciate exceptional comfort in uneasy thermals,
resulting from considerable amount of reflex traits present in the design.
On activating the trimmers and setting up the ALC+ steering, Universal becomes
a full reflex paramotor wing, good for both leisure and cruise flying, thermalling,
last but not least for initial paramotor training.
No matter what kind of flying you choose, the Universal has a perfect launch,
rigid canopy, is pretty agile, nicely handling and safe.
Important for instructors: Universal is perfect for initial PPG training
2.1 DESIGN
Exceptional versatility of the Universal is a result of its genesis. The wing
was born as a byproduct of the Synthesis2 development process. One of
the paths we've been following was creation of a relatively simple paramotor
wing, featuring better economy, agility, easy launch and low power demand.
Some of the prototypes did not stood up to legendary stability of the original
Synthesis, but demonstrated many other valuable traits we did not like to
drop. So, we've explored that path, employing both our long-time
experience, and state-of-the-art technologies.
Universal was built according to a new idea. That idea alleges bigger
increase in speed realized mainly with the trimmers, adapting their travel to
individual pilot’s skills and experience, as well as limited reflex capability in
lower part of operation so that the airfoil acquires shapes similar to those
used in our modern, highly efficient free-flying paraglider types. That idea is
augmented by many recent solutions, such as FET technology keeping the
desired shape of the leading edge during launch and flight, resulting in
Universal’s excellent launch performance even in no wind.
