_47 _EN_46
Exceptional directional stability as well as unique precision and simpli-
city underpin the excellent handling.
Pleasure without compromise
The PHANTOM is mainly constructed using 27 gram sail cloth. Com-
bined with the weight-optimised inner construction, the size S wing
weighs less than 5 kg. Little weight and low aspect ratio result in ma-
ximum safety. Never before has so much performance been so easy
to fly.
Technical summary
With 99 cells, 804 needle-eye ribs and 3200 slots in the profiles and
diagonal ribs to reduce weight, the PHANTOM could be the most com-
plex and technically elaborate wing ever made. With more than 3000
individual components, it sets a new benchmark in paraglider const-
ruction.

The PHANTOM
Introduction
The PHANTOM offers the safety of a basic intermediate with the per-
formance of a top-end wing. This has been made possible through pro-
bably the most complex construction ever used in a serial-production
wing.
The idea
At NOVA we asked ourselves what a low-end EN B would look like if it
was constructed without being restricted by technical complexity. The
result is the PHANTOM.
Experience progress
The PHANTOM is a new, completely revolutionary paraglider – with a
similar aspect-ratio to the ION and with 99 cells, it combines the safe-
ty of the ION series with high-level performance.
Not a gram of
unnecessary weight
combined with the
highest possible
technical complexity:
up to twelve triple
tape ribs transfer
the load on every line
attachment point to
its neighbouring pro-
file rib. This allows
a homogenous force
distribution inside the
wing.
