The INFINITY III opens a new chapter in paragliding security: the combination of the PPN-System (Precision Profile Nose) with the unique Automatic Flight Stabilisation system (AFS) provides for an unequalled folding resistance. The INFINITY III has thereby newly defined the state of the technology of the DHV/LTF 1-2 gliders’ security-level.
PPN Technology stands for unprecedented stability and excelling take-off and flying qualities. PPN means Precision Profile Nose. For several years already synthetic rods have served as a replacement for nose-mylar in the cell walls of gliders by providing more stability to the stitched up areas of the cell-walls. U-Turn has taken another step by combining this technology with the Automatic Flight Stabilisation (AFS-System).
The synthetic rods in the profile nose sustain its stability, thereby optimizing the flow of wind along the profile. Even under extreme flying conditions the small rods of the PPN system keep the openings of the profile nose considerably wider open than has been the case up to now. The inner pressure is maintained palpably longer and with it the stability of the profile. And even if the inner pressure diminishes, the Automatic Flight Stabilisation kicks in and brakes as necessary. The interaction of these two systems provides the range of gliders with an unequalled folding resistance.
Since the material is not as susceptible to bending as the formerly used nose-mylar, the profile nose virtually retains its exact design shape for a glider lifetime if handled carefully. In order to provide the greatest possible protection when packing the glider, the INFINTIY III is delivered as standard with the U-Turn Tube-Bag. Even on windy days one can carefully and single-handedly fold the INFINITY III and store it accordion fashion in this high-quality inner packsack. The Tube-Bag meets even the highest demands through its elaborate workmanship and numerous functional details and ensures that the INFINITY III maintains its excellent take-off and flight qualities for many years – an advantage that can favourably influence the resale value. The canopy has become lighter ever since the use of mylar reinforcements was abandoned. Handling advantages and the increase of performance caused by the reduced canopy weight can be attributed additionally to PPN-Technology.
INFINITY III has become more than ever an uncomplicated wing with a good deal of reserve capacity after having been equipped with this new technology. With its good-natured and forgiving behaviour, the INFINITY III is suitable for training, but at the same time, since it is an agile glider and a daring, thermal climber, it is also suitable for ambitious, first class pilots, who refuse to make any concessions to passive security during high performance. Of course the INFINITY III is equipped with high-quality Liros lines. The INFINITY III is available in sizes S, M, L and XL together with U-Turn’s well known wide weight range.
