Page 10: D-Brake System
D-Brake System In order to optimalise parameters of the single shell paraglider canopy on landing approach we’ve created a dedicated D-Brake system. It is activated somewhere in half of the braking range, gradually pulling down the D-risers. Because of this, the wing airfoil is flattened in the rear area, generating additional lift needed for good flare and soft landing. -
