Overview

The BLACKLIGHT is- like the successful PASSION in the EN/LTF C class- equipped with the High Definition Profile (HDP). HDP means thin plastic rods on the topsail which cover from 45 to 80% of the profile depth. The optimum of this technology was found in numerous test flights in different prototype design steps.

The system corresponds perfectly with the High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) which means optimal designed cross ventilation openings in the ribs, which gives a dynamic handling but with a high stability. This technology is borrowed from the THRILLER and is now used in serial gliders.

The BLACKLIGHT got 50 cells and an aspect ratio of 5,8. Another fact for the high performance of the wing is the use of supreme NCV fabric material. In the topsail type 40gramm is used in water repellent quality and Skytex type 36 in the bottomsail. Elaborately is the conception of the ribs, there is type 32 Skytech material in hardfinish-quality build in.

The PPN-system instead of the heavy nose mylar gives easy starting characteristic, “and thermaling the wing is just a dream” so Strobl. The BLACKLIGHT turns willing in the thermal updraft and gains rapidly altitude. “In the end I can only advice to test the BLACKLIGHT and to experience the glide of 10 on an EN/LTF B wing.”
