Outstanding in any situation: Much more efficient in turbulent conditions, headwind and for flying distance. Unlike other single-surface wings, its nature does not influence its flight behavior.
 
Durable lightness : The wing’s revolutionary new reinforced structure makes it possible to greatly reduce the number of lines and together with the use of semi-light materials makes it light and also durable.

Guaranteed accessibility: An EN B certified wing which is responsive, efficient and stable for greater flying comfort. More fun, more speed and a lot more accessible and simple to fly.

Skin 3 détails

The ultimate in lightness:

  • The redesign of its internal structure resulted in 44% fewer lines.
  • Using semi-light (Skin 3) and ultralight (Skin 3 P) materials ensures the wing is both light and compact.
  • Nitinol (TNT) rods are used in the wing profile instead of conventional nylon rods.

Versatility and safety:

  • Excellent performance in thermals thanks to the combination of its new design with the latest Niviuk technologies.
  • Better glide and improved behavior in headwind and turbulent air.
  • Higher passive safety in the various phases of flight.

Intuitive and effective piloting:

  • Excellent stability thanks to easy and accessible controls.
  • Steady and fun flying.
  • Easy to quickly recover in the case of any type of collapse.

Simple launch and landing:

  • The launch is easier thanks to the new self-inflating leading edge. The wing climbs above the pilot without any difficulty.
  • Increased brake travel for smoother and more precise landing.

Niviuk Skin 3 Technologies :

Perfected leading edge :

A self-inflating leading edge combined with a 3DL (3D Leading Edge) facilitates an easier and more straight-forward take off and a faster response and recovery in the case of a collapse. SLE technology gives stability to the entire wing profile and increases the ease of reaching higher speeds.

Evolution of the internal structure:

A new distribution of ribs and diagonals optimises the distribution of the pilot&39;s weight and the loads on the attachment points. The use of Nitinol (TNT) rods reinforces the structure by reducing the weight of the wing and provides the profile with shape memory.

Fewer lines for more performance:

A better distribution of the loads allowed us to reduce the lineset by 44%. This contributes to lower overall weight, simplifies the pre-flight preparation and means less drag - for improved performance during all phases of flight.
