ABOUT ALP

Inspired by the mountain range in which it was born, the ALP is designed for ambitious Hike & Fly and flight athletes at High . It boasts a sharp design that redefines performance standards in the ultra-light harness category.

With the ALP, Supair’s design team aims to bring Hike & Fly to the same level of performance as the flight distance competition, which today benefits from the most high-performance products on the market. By integrating the ultralight dimension into a product designed for pure performance, they are creating a whole new category in the flight freestyle sector: ultra-light cocoons with full fairings.

To achieve this ambition, each Component of the ALP has been meticulously selected for its lightness, compactness and technical performance. A refined assembly of these different materials is the final step in creating a cocoon available from 1.58 kg, fully accessorized and ready to fly.

From the first idea on paper in 2022 to Pierre Rémy’s participation in the X-PYR 2024 with the final version of the ALP, many hours of flight have resulted in a product perfectly optimized for competition, offering an unrivalled combination of performance, lightness and comfort.

AERODYNAMIC

ONE DESIGN AT THE SERVICE OF PERFORMANCE

If “submarine”-type harnesses have revolutionized the world of XC racing, the ALP takes up the challenge of integrating a full fairing into its design, with an inflatable envelope that takes shape once in flight thanks to the relative wind.

The span of the envelope and its assembly reduce pilot-generated drag to a minimum, thanks to a smoother flow of air on a clean Airfoil . It also stabilizes the harness on the yaw axis, making flight comfortable for long flights.Supair Alp Harness

The lines of the ALP guarantee the highest level High of performance, all in a “featherweight” format.

LIGHT

THE HARNESS ULTRA-LIGHT LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE

The characteristics of the selected Fabrics and the optimization of the frame structure result in a unique product. Available from 1.58 kg, this weight includes not only the harness but also all accompanying accessories.zeno 2

Whether it’s the fabric of the envelope or the structure of the frame, the design of the ALP guarantees extreme compactness for an ergonomic and minimalist Storage in the rucksak. Its Inflatable protection allows total compression of the harness for a minimal volume of Storage .zeno 2

PERFORMANCE

XC MEETS ULTRA-LIGHT

The ALP innovates by combining advanced aerodynamics design with ultra-light materials.

This unique combination makes it possible to optimize both performance in flight and the comfort of the pilot on the ground. This synergy between the worlds of Hike & Fly and XC competition offers a great experience flight Fluid and efficient while reducing weight to its essentials.

This innovative approach distinguishes the ALP from other light or enveloped cocoons, setting new standards of lightness and performance.

Adapting to Hike & Fly

While the team at design was looking for the best choices for the external design of the harness, the comparative studies carried out on existing models showed clear results: integral envelopes offer aerodynamic performance almost twice as good as a conventional light cocoon.

To obtain these results, the designers developed an initial prototype envelope, which they compared with the current cocoons in our CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) range.

With these results in front of us, the design of a harness envelope became obvious, but a new question arose:

How do you adapt such an imposing and complex design into an ultra-light product?

To answer this question, the Research & Development team studied the needs of Hike & Fly athletes to propose appropriate design solutions.

ZIPPER AIMANTÉ

EASE INTO AND OUT OF THE COCOON

The integration of a Zipper magnetized to the ALP’s envelope is a major innovation to guarantee the product’s Use ease of use in a Hike & Fly context .Supair Alp Harness

To settle into the harness after take-off, all you have to do is insert your legs into the cocoon and extend them, so that Zipper closes automatically by magnetic force alone. Once closed, the seal is Warranty and the envelope inflates thanks to the relative wind.

To exit, simply step over or bend your legs and spread your knees to open the Zipper.

Thanks to this feature, you can prepare your Landing as you would with a classic cocoon.

Supair Alp Harness SIMPLE, ACCESSIBLE COCKPIT

FOR COMFORT AT FLIGHT AND EASY INSTRUMENT HANDLING

The cockpit is a central element of piloting comfort. To make it practical and easy toUse, the instruments are always accessible at flight without having to open a Zipper.Supair Alp Harness

The transparent visor is removable to adapt to your needs.

There’s also a zipped pocket for an external battery to connect to your instruments, and a passage for a cable.

OPTIMIZED ENVELOPE

COMBINING LIGHTNESS AND PERFORMANCE

Comparative studies of different types of cocoon carried out by the R&D team have proven the superior performance of envelope harnesses. Once this has been established, the next step is to identify the parameters that influence the performance of the envelope, in order to adjust it as effectively as possible for a Use Hike & Fly.

The designers developed an experimental plan involving no fewer than 30 different envelope designs to arrive at the final design for the ALP. This envelope design offers the best compromise between aerodynamic performance, lightness of assembly and convenience ofUse of the envelope for walking and flight.

 

INFLATABLE PROTECTION

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT FOR ASSURED SAFETY

Transforming the harness envelope concept to Hike & Fly involves adapting the protection.

To meet the needs of athletes, protection must be compact, lightweight and easy to handle and apply, while meeting the requirements of safety and performance standards.paramotor reserve parachute

Numerous trials and tests were carried out to find the best combination of thickness, shape and weight of the protection to guarantee maximum safety without impacting the diameter of the envelope, and therefore its aerodynamics.Supair Alp Harness

The ALP protection takes up no space in the bag, and inflates in seconds on takeoff via a hose on the left shoulder of the harness.

REINFORCED FRAME

COMFORT MEETS ULTRA-LIGHT

The ALP chassis alone has benefited from many hours of work at flight to achieve the best compromise between lightness and durability. The materials of which it is made ensure that weight is reduced to its essentials, while the load-bearing elements ensure optimum force distribution.

Although the ALP has been designed to be as light as possible, you have all the adjustments you need to adapt it to your body shape: shoulder length, backrest angle, support Lumbar,Seat angle and speedbag length.

The frame is fully accessorized for an ideal Use for walking and flight thanks to its pole-holder pocket and two Pockets Flask . Two storage spaces are also provided, with a pocket underSeat (3L) and a back pocket (between 12 and 15 L) equipped with a Flask and a passage for a hose.
