Chief designer Ernst Strobl has radically redeveloped the latest ANNAPURNA generation. As with all concepts, U-Turn incorporates the latest findings from the extreme field of acro leaders into the wings. A modified nose geometry in combination with the wafer-thin Nitinol reinforcements on the leading edge keep the profile shape under tension even on the ground. The super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy allows strong deformations and quickly returns to its original shape thanks to the memory effect. In addition, the 3D shaping (3DS) ensures optimized profile tension in the nose area. Miniribs on the trailing edge give the profile shape accuracy and thus optimize steering impulses. The elaborate geometry of the High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) facilitates the cross-ventilation of the crossports and creates a balanced internal pressure of the good-natured wing. The line setup has been significantly reduced in the second generation and equipped with color-differentiated sheathed PPSLS lines. The simple webbing risers were designed for a functional and elegant look. An elegant decorative line marks the rear risers for a better hanging overview and continues the Color Code Connection (CCC).
High Pressure Crossport Design
Sorgt fĂ¼r eine optimierte QuerbelĂ¼ftung der Crossports, dies hilft Druckunterschiede im FlĂ¼gelinneren effizient auszugleichen und einen ausgewogenen Innendruck im gesamten FlĂ¼gels zu gewährleisten.
Mini Ribs
Die Mini-Ribs optimieren das FlĂ¼gelprofil entlang der Hinterkante und sorgen somit fĂ¼r ein besseres Bremsverhalten.
Precision Profile Nose
Das Precision Profile Nose-System sorgt mit Kunststoff-Verstärkungen in den Vernähungen fĂ¼r die Stabilität der Profilnase und optimiert damit die Strömung entlang der gesamten Eintrittsöffnung.
3D Shape
Das 3D Shaping sorgt fĂ¼r die gezielte Kontrolle der Spannung des FlĂ¼gels und somit fĂ¼r ein optimiertes Ballooning und eine faltenfreie KonturfĂ¼hrung.
Material
In all efforts to reduce weight, great attention was paid to durability. An intelligent mix of materials provides more durability with minimum weight. The lightweight versions of the U-Turn Acro material PARATEX (PX) in 20 and 10 are also used here. Line attachment points have been optimized according to the loads and are incorporated on the rear levels with integrated line loops.
