Niviuk Technologies

Structured Leading Edge

Nitinol rods in the leading edge make up the SLE. This technology provides greater solidity and stability to maintain its shape in all phases of flight. This increases performance, efficiency and stability, absorbs turbulence better and makes the wing much more durable over time.

3D Leading Edge

3DL technology is an adjustment of the fabric at the leading edge of the wing to control the ballooning and the creases that are generated by the curvature in this area. The leading edge is then divided into sub-panels which are sewn into each of the cells at the front of the paraglider. As a result, the leading edge of the wing is perfectly tensioned, which benefits the wing in performance and durability. A good comparison is a rugby ball. In order to produce its characteristic oval shape without creases, its cover is made of several panels – not of just one piece. The application of this innovation, in conjunction with the 3DP, is key to converting the perfect shape from 2D to 3D.

RAM Air Intake

The RAM Air Intake system is based on the inward orientation of the air inlets in the profile so that they allow an optimum internal pressure at all angles of attack.

The result? Having greater internal pressure means better buffering of turbulence, greater consistency of the profile shape across the speed range. Excellent handling at low speed is achieved by allowing the pilot to extend the braking limit, so there is a lower risk of collapse and consequently, greater control and stability.

Radial Sliced Diagonal

RSD (Radial Sliced Diagonal) technology is a reinvention of the wing’s internal structure. It incorporates independent and efficiently oriented diagonal ribs, which follow the direction of the cloth. This improves the strength, reduces weight and minimises deformation.

These days, in order to improve stress distribution and reduce the number of attachment points and lines, most wings have these diagonal ribs, which are connected from the attachment points to the adjacent profiles.

In conventional diagonal ribs, loading and unloading cycles away from the highest strength axis of the cloth result in a loss of shape, which reduces the cohesion of the wing and therefore aerodynamic efficiency.

3D Pattern Cut Optimization

This technology seeks to implement the best orientation of the cloth on each panel according to its location on the leading edge.  If the cloth pattern is correctly aligned with the load axes, the cloth suffers less deformation flight after flight, so the leading edge maintains its shape better and remains stronger over time.

The design of our paraglider and paramotor wings has evolved a lot over the years, with a positive and specific focus on the leading edge.

Thanks to this technology and 3DL, a perfect modelling of the panels and an exact representation from 2D to 3D is achieved.

Drag Reduction Structure

The DRS aims to reduce drag and the adverse pressure gradient by optimising the aerodynamic shape of the wing. With its application, the direction of airflow is much more progressive at the trailing edge. This increases performance without compromising safety or handling.Niviuk Hiko P

Niviuk Hiko P Titanium Technology

• Nitinol is a combination of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. The incorporation of Nitinol rods in the profile increases the performance of the wing, especially in three areas: Compared to nylon rods, the weight of the wing is reduced by 13%.
• Nitinol has two essential characteristics: shape memory and enormous elasticity. As a result, the rods retain their optimum shape even after an ultra-compact or incorrect folding, so that the wing is not deformed. This will always be the case unless the radius at the point of curvature is less than 1 cm.
•  The leading edge shape is much more rigid and uniform which results in a much more consistent and progressive inflation and therefore an easier take off. The profile is taut at all times, without creases, and fully optimised for all flight phases.Niviuk Hiko P

In addition, the rods have a plastic protector at their ends to prevent any damage to the fabric of the wing.

Nitinol is now featured in all Niviuk wings.

Niviuk Hiko P IKS 1000 connection system

The Hiko P is supplied with the IKS 1000 as standard. This is a lightweight means to connect the risers to the lines. The system can hold up to 1,055 kg, which is well above the 550 kg of the classic 3 mm carabiner but weighs much less. This reduces the overall weight of the equipment while ensuring safety and durability.Niviuk Hiko P

Water-resistant line set

Unsheathed Pro Dry lines are waterproof and reduce the overall weight of the equipment.

Niviuk Hiko P C2B System

Manoeuvrability has been improved with the new C2B system that is integrated into the risers, and which allows a three-liner wing to be flown as if it were a two-liner. Steering with the C-risers automatically includes the B-risers. As a result, the wing has a much more efficient, controlled and precise handling without degrading the shape of the profile.Niviuk Hiko P
