This optimises glide in all phases of the flight. Because the flexible rods always return to their original shape, The ARTIK 5 flies efficiently. It enters thermals with sufficient speed to the integrity of the profile is never affected. Nitinol provides the highest centre in the lift and climbs progressively.
For the construction process of the ARTIK 5 we use the same criteria, quality controls and manufacturing processes as in the rest of our range. Information about the various materials used to manufacture the wing From Olivier Nef’s computer to fabric cutting, the operation does not...

The ARTIK 5 is designed with little chord, which is good in normal flight high speed. conditions. However, this same damping is what can cause us to have...
The airflow over the profile is interrupted and the wing enters a situation located on the inner side of the turn. The intensity of the turn can be similar to parachuting. controlled by braking slightly using the outer brake handle. To enter this manoeuvre, the B-risers are gripped below the maillons and A paraglider flying at its maximum rotating speed can reach –20 m/s, or symmetrically pulled down together (approx.
Apart from the general checks, we recommend actively 6.1 TOWING maintaining your equipment. The ARTIK 5 does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only A pre-flight check is obligatory before each flight. qualified winch personnel should handle the certified equipment to carry If there is any damage to the equipment or you suspect any areas of out this operation.
