TECHNOLOGIES

• 

  

  3DL

  3D Leading Edge

  Adding an extra seam to the leading edge on the span axis of the glider helps to shape a compact 3D profile and have better connections to the new 3DP front panel’s layout.

• 

  

  3DP

  3D Pattern Cut Optimization

  The latest glider generation requires a new pattern design and an optimized fabric cutting process based on a 3D technology.

• 

  

  RAM

  RAM Air Intake

  Evolution and constant improving in all our products is the essence of the DNA of Niviuk’s R&D team. Thanks to the new technologies created over recent years, we have conceived new and more evolved and higher performing gliders. In this context the RAM Air Intake technology should be pointed out.

• 

  

  SLE

  Structured Leading Edge

  The SLE provides more rigidity and stability along the span of leading edge but also allows full flexibility along both the vertical and horizontal axis of each open cell. The SLE ensures ease of movement on the ground and high security in the air during turbulence and whilst flying at speed.

• 

  

  STE

  Structured Trailing Edge

  The STE optimises the profile without deforming it. We can thus obtain less resistance and better performance.

• 

  

  TNT

  Titanium Technology-

  Constantly innovating, we always are on the hunt, looking for the latest and best materials to helps us design optimal products. For this reason, and after an extensive evaluation of its benefits and qualities, we decided to be the firsts manufacturer to use Nitinol in our glider line.

PILOTS

  “The feeling I get under the wing is more comfort, more security as well, and even when close to the relief, you’re not afraid to accelerate.
  The wing gives you some room to focus on other things besides actual piloting, like observing how others are flying, take more time to check out the instruments and the conditions up in the air, so it makes a difference. ”

  “I feel good underneath, comfortable and safe. With this kind of sport it’s important. It will allow me to go explore the Écrins, just next to where I fly near the large mountains. If on top of things you’re feeling good, well, that’s magical. ”

  “At the piloting level, Icepeak Evox is quite present in the command. This presence / pressure gives a very good precision during turns and allows to get an interesting feedback.
  In thermal, the wing keeps a very good glide, it is easy to place it where you want, to refocus the ascendance and to tighten a thermal near the relief, especially in strong conditions. ”
