Design and purpose

Orca 6 was designed with professional pilots in mind. The main objective was to make the wing as comfortable and user-friendly as possible, ensuring daily flights are enjoyable experiences. 

In low-wind conditions, maintaining altitude can be challenging. To address this, we have expanded the Orca’s speed range. It allows for a low sink rate with fully closed trimmers, without compromising its top speed when the trimmers are opened. 

The handling of the Orca 6 is light yet responsive, requiring minimal effort. It reduces pilot fatigue, even after multiple passenger flights in a single day. The Orca 6 responds quickly and dynamically without needing a lot of force during control while still providing the stability that tandem pilots rely on.

Orca 6 compared to previous versions:

  • a new aerodynamic profile and canopy geometry
  • new materials optimized for strength and weight. Similar to the previous Orca, we used double-coated Porcher Everlast fabric on the leading edge. Remaining top surface and bottom surface are made of double coated, siliconized fabric – Dominico 32PS
  • a new color scheme family called Flying Gems

Design

  • The canopy was designed under our CSG (Canopy Shape Guard) system, consistIng of several subsystems, so that exceptional body coherence and its durability is ensured.
  • The aerodynamic profile of the wing is based on DOA (Dudek Optimized Airfoil) technology. It was developed on the basis of our many years of experience and optimized with dedicated CFD software.

The entire production takes place in Poland under strict control of the designer himself, guaranteeing the highest European quality of workmanship.

Construction solutions

TECHNOLOGIES, CONCEPTS
1/7

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.

SN - Shark-nose

Airtakes designed and executed in Shark-nose technology meaning specific, concave shape of the reinforced profile area at its leading edge (the name comes form the very shape, reminding shark’s nose).

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.

DOA - Dudek Optimized Airfoil

Dudek Optimized Airfoil It incorporates all our experiences stemming form previous designs and as a special feature is optimized with dedicated engineering software.

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.

Risers functionality

USED SOLUTIONS
1/4

TR - Trimmers

A trimming system for additional angle of attack regulation. Used mainly in PPG wings.
This system features replaceable trim straps. After prolonged or intensive operation they need to be replaced, as they get damaged by buckle edges.
