This great design has placed the Impulse in the top floor in terms of performance
and safety. It is built with the most durable materials and longevity-wise
this wind excels. Finally new pilots and pilots looking for great passive
safety can find a product that has a better glide, a better speed and a
more precise handling than any other certified EN A glider or similar.

certification
| Certified EN A (sizes S, M,
L) with the standard production speed
system. |
The Impulse is our new glider for new pilots,
certified EN A. In this wing we have applied all of the
technical innovations and evolutions that we have developed
over the last few years: 3 risers, high arch, new system of
diagonals and line layout structure, etc…
The Impulse is
incredibly easy to launch, and it is extremely responsive
despite the big brake travel. It can be piloted very precisely
and sensitively in thermals. Impulse has an extremely wide
speed range, and the stall speed has been purposefully set out
of the range of the brake travel.
The Impulse has
been especially designed and developed so that you can start
your flying off with a great security margin, without
forsaking an excellent performance. The Impulse is your best
and safest bet to progressing rapidly into the world of free
flight.

3 risers
with a high arc.
Impulse's planform and rib structure have
been carefully crafted to give it maximum stability,
with a phenomenal resistance to tucking.
If one
manages to have a tuck when flying in heavy turbulence,
the Impulse has a strong pre-disposition to re-inflate
immediately, and with minimal height
loss.
Some of the Impulse's features are: Ample
diagonals from the attachment points of the A, B, C; All
cells are independent, and without any external
stitching; A new profile with optimum behaviour in
turbulence. | |
 |
Changed brake geometry: we have
improved the turning behaviour considerably with the new brake
setup. Despite the large available brake travel, the Impulse
can be piloted very precisely with relatively small brake
input.
|
The Impulse has really superb
performances thanks to a perfectly formed upper surface and
the glider's greatly reduced number of attachment points, and
overall line length. |
