Optic 2 Light

Optic 2 Light is a light three-row cross-country/recreational paraglider of 5,50 aspect ratio and 51 cells. It is recommended for pilots who want to fly a lot and grow, capitalizing on its outstanding performance. The paraglider offers EN/LTF B class safety, confirmed by according certificates.

The canopy structure is reinforced with rigid rods (Flexi Edge Technology) as well as mini-ribs on the trailing edge, truly representing, smoothing and stabilizing the airfoil at all speeds. Another solution improving both the aerodynamics and stability is the Shark Nose. Stabilo has been modified too.

All these technologies come from the racing canopies and combined with 3-row rigging give the paraglider large passive safety margin and exceptional aerodynamic performance.

The airfoil used in Optic 2 Light has some reflex traits. The wing is tuck-resistant, comes up easily and is perfectly steerable. Worth a special praise is its great lateral and longitudinal stability.

As in other our paragliders, the risers of the Optic 2 Light constitute a complete, comfortable and carefully thought out control panel, where each instrument is placed exactly where it should be and works as it should. Modern risers of 12 mm width feature ball-bearing pulleys.

As a result, you got the wing that will easily float in a slightest lift, and covering long distances in typical turbulence of a thermally active day won’t be a problem. Speed-system operation is safe and comfortable even in rough air. Optic 2 Light has lots of speed, great deal of lift, and In generally simply wants to fly – so don’t be selfish and take it with you for a long XC 😉

Colour scheme has been simplified due to lighter cloth, as well as avoiding seams which are not necessary construction-wise.

Optic 2 Light is manufactured under new technology, employing precision of the laser cutter. All stages of production are completed in Poland under the strict supervision of the designer himself, thus ensuring highest European quality.

Certification

Optic 2 Light is still in the certification process. Some sizes have already passed the EN/LTF B category tests, as well as the load test.

CSG - Canopy Shape Guard

CSG – Canopy Shape Guard – is our unique system controlling canopy coherence. It is because of this system that our wings are equally tensioned, smooth, stable and… simply remarkable.

LR - Laser Technology

Capabilities of the laser cutter allow for serial cutting of complicated shape narrow elements in large numbers, their optimal placing in relation to structure of the textile and highest possible precision of cut.

FET - Flexi Edge Technology

The leading edge is closed to the airflow, and its precise shape is kept with laminated cloth reinforcements, incorporating synthetic rods. The rods make the leading edge stiffer and smoother, bringing improvements in many areas – from easier inflation, through stiffening the canopy in flight to improved general airflow.

MR - Mini-Ribs

Mini ribs speak for themselves – they are additionally introduced in the trailing edge between main ribs. Their task is to decrease ballooning (expanding and deformation of the cells) in this vital area af the aerofoil.

Keeping the rear part in shape reduces the drag induced behind trailing edge, thus improving general airflow and increasing airspeed.

3L - Three-liner

Thanks to introduction of stiffening rods (Flexi Edge Technology) and other internal reinforcements, elimination of one suspension row – from four to three – was possible. In effect, reduced total length of lines led to reduction of the drag, thus improving overall performance of the design.
