Performance paraglider PLUTO 4

single place

Axis Pluto 4 is a glider you will have fun with! Redefining performance in the EN-A category. It is intended for beginers and less experienced pilots, but also for pilots trying their first cross-country flights. R&D Team’s note Pluto series was our low EN-B in the range. The 4th version changes things a little bit. It has such high level of passive safety that is passed EN-A in M size ! But it stills targets more or less the same group of pilots : talented begginners and more experienced pilots that wish for performance and agility combined with very high standards of safety ! It has the best of both worlds, safety of an EN-A with the performance of a middle class EN-B ! TECHNLOGIES The front part of the profile is rigidified by crossed plastics rods, also know as the shark nose. It enables stable inflation of canopy at all angles of attack. The shape of the upper front pannels have been optimized using 3D modeling to get a cleaner leading edge for a better penetration in the air, glide and speed. Using the miniribs on the trailing edge for better direction of flow of the outgoing airflow – reducing secondary turbulence which in turn reduces the overall resistance of the canopy thus contributing to higher glide ratio / has already been a standard feature for Axis wings. Lines layout is pure three-line structure. This solution along with linear distribution of the lines along the span has enabled us to greatly reduce the consumption of lines which also contributes significantly to relatively high maximum speed. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Axis Pluto 4 is a bright new construction. It is similar to its predecessor merely in the name and its excellent flight characteristics.
