PERMAIR 2.0

The further development of our first PERMAIR protector generation has a practical inflate/deflate check valve that makes the filling of your protector significantly easier. PERMAIR 2.0 protectors can also be inflated in several ways. In addition to the previously common variant with the inflation bag and compression function, you now have the option to fill your protector in a minimalist way via the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece includes a moisture filter to minimize the introduction of moisture and is included in the PERMAIR Set scope of delivery.

Core Inflation Bag

INFLATIONBAG

The most common way to fill your PERMAIR protector with air is to use the Inflationbag. Connect the Inflationbag to the valve and blow into the opening. Close the bag by rolling it until pressure builds up in the Inflationbag. Apply more pressure by pumping on the Inflationbag to allow air to flow into the PERMAIR protector. You will feel a pressure increase in the Inflationbag when the protector is completely filled. After that, it is not possible to pump more air into the protector.

Inflationbag: Versatile use

Core Mouthpiece

 

MOUTHPIECE

Connect the grey part of the mouth piece to the valve. Make sure the HME-filter (heat moisture exchanger) is inside the mouth piece (blue spongy) and start with inflating by blowing inside the transparent opening. The protector is fully inflated once you feel significant resistance of air pressure when blowing inside.

  • Sandpaper

  • Paperclips or small weights (for balance)

  • Paint or markers (optional for decoration)

Step 1: Design Your Glider

Start by sketching the shape of your glider. The main parts include:

  • Fuselage (body)

  • Wings

  • Tail (horizontal stabilizer and vertical fin)

Choose a simple shape for beginners, like a straight wing and flat tail.

Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces

Using your design, cut the fuselage, wings, and tail from your material. Be precise with measurements to ensure balance.

Step 3: Sand and Smooth

Use sandpaper to smooth edges and shape the wings slightly curved for better lift.

Step 4: Assemble the Glider

  • Attach the wings to the fuselage at the center.

  • Attach the tailplane and vertical fin at the rear.

  • Use glue and let it dry thoroughly.

Step 5: Balance Your Glider

Attach paperclips or small weights to the nose or tail to find the center of gravity. Proper balance is crucial for flight stability.

Step 6: Test and Adjust

  • Try gentle tosses in an open space.

  • Adjust wing angles and weight distribution to improve flight.

  • Make small tweaks and keep testing.

Tips for Better Flight

  • Keep the glider lightweight.

  • Avoid bending the wings too much.

  • Use smooth, even surfaces to reduce drag.

Safety Precautions

  • Use cutting tools carefully.

  • Work in a well-ventilated area when using glue.

Conclusion

Building a glider is a fun way to explore physics and engineering. With patience and practice, you can design gliders that soar longer and farther, sparking a lifelong interest in flight.

Does the harness come with storage options?

Yes, the Core Harness includes multiple pockets and compartments for essential items, including side zip pockets, a rear storage area, and a dedicated instrument cockpit. These features keep your gear organized and accessible.

What is Wingspan?

Wingspan refers to the distance from one wingtip to the other across a glider, airplane, bird, or any flying object. It’s a critical measurement because it affects the lift, stability, and maneuverability of the glider.


Why is Wingspan Important in Glider Design?

  • Longer wingspan generally provides more lift and better glide performance, allowing the glider to stay in the air longer and travel farther.

  • Shorter wingspan offers more agility and easier handling but less efficient lift.

Balancing wingspan is essential depending on your flight goals—whether you want longer flights or quick, responsive control.


Wingspan Instructions for Making a Glider

  1. Measure and Mark: Decide on your desired wingspan based on your glider size and material. For beginner balsa gliders, a wingspan between 12 and 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) works well.

  2. Cut Wings Accurately: Using your measurement, cut the wings so that the total distance from tip to tip matches your wingspan.

  3. Symmetry is Key: Ensure both wings are identical in size and shape for balanced flight.

  4. Attach Wings: Securely attach the wings at the glider’s centerline, making sure they’re perpendicular to the fuselage for proper lift.

  5. Adjust Angle of Attack: Slightly tilt the wings upward (about 2-4 degrees) to increase lift without causing too much drag.

  6. Test Flight: After assembly, test your glider’s flight. If it dives quickly, you might need to increase wingspan or angle. If it stalls, try reducing wingspan or adjusting the angle.
