NYOS RS
…feel the difference!
The NYOS was the glider flown by Didi Siglbauer when he won the DHV-XC competition two years in a row. The success strategy behind this glider has now entered its next phase with the NYOS RS!
The main difference between the NYOS RS and its predecessor is the clearly noticeable gain in stability and control due to the RAST system. Thanks to this patented technology, we have succeeded in making the full performance potential of the High-B segment accessible to a wider range of pilots. For you the pilot, this means effective and at the same time relaxed XC flying, on perfect days, at the highest performance level.
Who is the NYOS RS for?
Although in our opinion and experience the Nyos RS is very easy and enjoyable to fly for a performance intermediate, this wing should be piloted by experienced intermediate and XC-pilots who fly at least 50 hours a year.
FEATURES
On paragliders with RAST the canopy is divided into different internal pressurised sections by one or more fabric panels, some with valves running crossways to the direction of flight. This makes it possible to influence the air flows within the canopy.
With RAST, the air equalisation flows within the paraglider canopy can be regulated through defined openings. This applies both when filling,(during take-off) and when emptying. In the case of pressure loss, e.g. caused by canopy collapse in turbulent air, the relative internal pressure of the CORE section increases, while the BUFFER section absorbs the introduced energy by deformation. Furthermore, RAST can be used as an additional support to the leading and trailing edge, which has a positive effect on flight comfort. As RAST connects the ribs over the entire profile height, the construction has a stiffening effect and reinforcements and/or stiffening elements can be saved or even completely replaced by this special construction method.
In the NYOS RS, RAST has been optimized for the following characteristics:
- Smooth flight and maximum control in challenging conditions
- High canopy stability even at maximum speed
Nitinol is a high-strength, temperature- and corrosion-resistant shape memory alloy. The name Nitinol is an acronym for Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory.
This material is well-known in medical technology, and for a long time Swing has been using it as leading edge reinforcement in paraglider design, one of the first paraglider manufacturers to do so. For the NYOSRS, the Nitinol reinforcements are inserted into nylon tubes. This meant that the cross-sectional area (and thus the contact area for the top surface material) could be increased without having to forego the positive features of the memory alloy (bend-resistance, length and dimensional stability).
Ballooning on the trailing edge has a considerable influence on a paraglider’s control pressure and handling. That’s why, with the TWIN RS 2, ballooning in this area was reduced to a minimum using 3D shaping, in addition to the tried and tested mini ribs. The trick here is that the mini ribs have internal stitching on the top surface so that none of the threads can get caught up on the ground and pulled out, even when launching in difficult terrain.
The targeted control of tension by 3D shaping at the leading edge of the upper sail has become standard in paraglider construction. This is in order to make the airflow-relevant areas as crease-free as possible. Depending on the model, 3D shaping is either single or double in its construction.
We have supplemented the standard shaping with another 3D shaping at the leading edge to optimise the aerodynamic effect of the miniribs.
We had originally linked the C-riser steering with the B-level. In practice we couldn’t find any advantage to this with the NYOS RS: deployment force was too high and too much speed was lost on stabilisation. What has proved most effective is the C-bridge, where the wing tips and the centre section can be stabilised separately or together, depending on how the C-bridge is pulled. This is used in the NYOS RS and allows precise adjustments even at full throttle, without losing speed.
