Understanding your glider
The EONA 4 has just one mission: to let you enjoy your first flights. Smoothness and ease are the watchwords of this new generation of EONA, the ideal school glider.
But where does this indulgent behavior come from? Why is the shift gradual? What are winglets used for?
These terms can seem abstract when you’re just starting out. That’s why we help you understand how your first paraglider was conceived and designed:
THE WINGLETS
This fourth generation is the first to be equipped with winglets on the ends of theglider. These kinds of fins located on the ends of the Airfoil influence the behaviour of the glider and indirectly improve performance.
To ensure the safety of its pilot, a paraglider Dedicated to learning must be a stable spiral. The spiral refers to a rapid rotation around an axis close to theglider. While this is a manoeuvre deliberately used by more experienced pilots to lose altitude, it can sometimes be very fast and generate a strong centrifugal force that must be controlled. If pilots have to learn how to handle this maneuver on the higher performing wings, a glider School must tend to come out of itself without requiring any action from the pilot, this is what is called being stable spiral.ski gliding
To achieve this, the angle of incidence of the wingtips on paragliders used in schools is increased to generate drag, which slows down the glider if it enters a spiral, causing it to exit and return to flight straight. The disadvantage of this method is that it degrades the straight-line performance of the glider , as the nose-up wingtips constantly create drag.ski gliding
To enhance the glider’s performance, the winglets are aligned with the airflow at flight and do not create drag. It is when the glider enters a spiral that the winglets generate drag, which has the effect of limiting paraglider ‘s speed in the spiral and helping it to exit and return to flight .ski gliding
Thanks to the winglets, the performance of your EONA4 is therefore guaranteed while ensuring excellent passive safety with an easy exit from the spiral.ski gliding
INNOVATIVE STRUCTURE
Whether in terms of performance, riding comfort or even maintenance of the glider, the new internal structure of the EONA 4 makes everyday life easier for the rider.flying skiing
The internal structure refers to the Fabrics located inside the Cells of the glider and which allow the maintenance of a good Airfoil. This is the “skeleton” of your paraglider.flying skiing
Cut-outs are made on the inner Ribs / roads . The cut-outs, made using a The cut laser, serve to reduce the glider’s weight. A lighter glider will inflate more easily and have less inertia in its movements at flight. Thanks to these features, the EONA 4 is easy to handle and anticipate, whether for the pilot beginner or the instructor accompanying them.flying skiing
A stripe has been added to the back of the Airfoil, throughout its scope. Its goal is to homogenize the behaviour of theglider on the entirety of its Airfoil. This characteristic of the internal structure helps to limit the deformation of theglider and ensures consistency between the feathers and the center of the Airfoil. The handling of the EONA 4 is quick and obvious for the neo-practitioner.
Finally, the wingtips have been widened to increase their strength at flight, resulting in feathers that are much more resistant to closure. This design element ensures a High level of passive safety in all aerological conditions.
NEW BRAKES
The EONA 4 is also a paraglider of choice for learning to wind your first thermals.
Braking has a direct influence on the glider’s performance in flight thermals, so we’ve chosen a braking system that favors flat turns. This type of braking, more focused on the center of the glider, prevents the glider from diving in the turn, making your first thermal turns easier.
Thanks to this behavior, it’s easier to optimizeLift / thermic to enjoy your first thermal laps without difficulty.
MATERIAL DURABILITY
When you’re just starting out in paraglider, many hours of inflation await you. Theglider with which you carry out your apprenticeship must be able to withstand all the tests, including repeated friction on the ground when inflating. That’s why the designers of the Supair team have individually selected the best materials for each area of the EONA 4 in order to offer a glider that combines durability and lightness.
The Fabrics exposed to friction and subjected to the highest stresses are chosen for their robustness and durability. Parts that are less subject to abrasion benefit from Fabrics lighter weight to reduce the weight of theglider for a smooth ride and a Good ascent of theglider inflation.
Thanks to redesigned diagonals, tensions are distributed more evenly over the Airfoil some glider, you will then benefit from a glider to the design more durable and resistant to deformation, which allows it to maintain its performance at the Line time.
In keeping with this desire to offer a durable glider that can stand up to the vagaries of learning, the internal Ribs / roads ends a few centimetres before the Trailling edge. All glider Cells are interconnected, facilitating the movement of dust and other residues to the Cells wingtips, which are equipped with dedicated openings for emptying the glider.
Thanks to a new design for the air inlets, each box is shaped using a unique Rush . In the event of a worn or damaged Rush on the leading edge, the “Easy-to-Remove Rod System” enables rapid replacement, specifically designed for easy, low-cost workshop maintenance.
As you can see, the EONA 4’s mission is to make paraglider accessible to everyone. All its features have been designed to make it easy for pilots to learn beginner.
Whether you’re practising on the ground or at flight, this glider will accompany you step by step as you progress, while ensuring the highest level of passive safety High .
