experience. First-class technical professionalism is the base to further push the limits.
The PHI SCALA 2
The SCALA 2 is a EN C wing with a very high level of technical complexity. Many individual suspension straps lead from each
suspension to the top surface. The additional miniribs in the leading edge double the number of cells in the critical-flow area.
Together with the sophisticated sail tension and the optimized zigzag 3D shaping, a new level of surface quality is achieved.
With a designed aspect ratio of 6.8, the SCALA 2 is on top of the EN C range. The normal version of the SCALA has more and longer
rods on the topsail and slightly heavier cloth.
Technical Description
The SCALA 2 has 78 cells over the entire wingspan, of which 9 cells on each wingtip are designed as closed cells. Everything
together forms a very dimensionally stable and homogeneous wing. The profiles used combine high performance with very
forgiving flight characteristics.
4 line levels on the sail lead to 2 risers on each side. The line layout is extremely reduced, which makes the job of untangling lines
on takeoff very easy and reduces line resistance.
The foot operated acceleration system is attached to the foremost A-riser.
Safety
The SCALA 2 is characterized by its extremely high stability in turbulent air. If the wing does collapse in any way, the reaction is
typical of an EN C class wing. Pilot action is expected.
Handling
The brake controls are short and direct, the brake pressure is low with good progression and excellent feedback. The SCALA 2 can
be turned sensitively and with comparatively small control inputs in thermals. The willingness to turn and precision are
outstanding for a wing of this aspect ratio.
Performance
Due to the additional miniribs in the profile nose, the profile shape remains largely stable even in high-speed flight. As a result,
the SCALA 2 offers a very flat polar with very good performance.
