NOVA TRITON Technical Description:
The NOVA TRITON is a high performance wing in the certification class EN C/
D (depending on size), or LTF 2-3.
Caused by the construction elements ot a high arc canopy and short lines, a
high form stability in combination with a very high agility could be achieved.
The relatively high aspect ratio in combination with a moderate airfoil charac-
teristic offers a good synthesis between a maximum of performance and a
high safety level.
Because ot the use of a special sail cut technique, a very good performance
level could be reached specially at higher speeds.
The basic form of the NOVA TRITON is a slim, elliptical, rearward swept wing.
Buildup of canopy:
The canopy of the TRITON is built by 71 cells over the wingspan. The wingtip
is slightly pulled down, building a kind of stabilizer.
2 to 3 suspended ribs are building a suspension group, which are connected
by short forks of the top line elements. Between those suspended ribs, the
ribs are suspended by diagonal ribs.
This buildup ensures a smooth top surface, exact airfoil reproduction, and yet
most importantly, very few suspension points. So the NOVA TRITON has very
few lines and thus associated parasitic drag, which gives it an excellent glide
angle.
The profile of the NOVA TRITON was basically adapted by it’s predecessor, the
TYCOON but redesigned in some areas. This changes in shape could
improve the efficiency (performance) and static (form stability).
The NOVA TRITON presents a closed leading edge to the airflow. Internal
Trilam reinforcements maintain its precise form and provides stability. The cell
openings on the undersurface of the profile’s nose provide airflow into the
glider. Stretch resistant flares, integrated with diagonal ribs at the suspension
