Eona 4 Supair paragliding wing

The innovations and novelties of this paraglider

The world of paragliding is constantly evolving, always seeking to combine innovation, performance and safety. In this quest for excellence, Supair presents theEona 4, a wing designed specifically for beginners, but which does not fail to attract the attention of pilots of all levels thanks to its revolutionary features. With the introduction of winglets, an optimized internal structure and an innovative braking system, this wing is the ideal choice for those just beginning their journey into the fascinating world of paragliding.

Winglets: stability and performance for the Eona 4

The fourth generation of Supair 's Eona parag lider is distinguished by the introduction of winglets at the wingtips, a first for this series. These aerodynamic extensions play a crucial role inimproving flight performance by subtly modifying the glider's behavior. They contribute to better management of the spiral, a maneuver which, while useful for losing altitude quickly, requires particular mastery to avoid excessive rotation and significant centrifugal force. TheEona 4 's winglets are designed to increase spiral stability, enabling the glider to recover from this rotation autonomously, without pilot intervention, while preserving straight flight performance thanks to their optimal alignment with the airflow.

Revolutionary internal structure of the Eona 4

TheEona 4 innovates with an internal structure optimized for performance, piloting comfort and ease of maintenance. The glider's "skeleton", made up of internal fabrics within the cells, benefits from precise laser-cutting to lighten the whole, making it easier to inflate and more maneuverable. A strip added to the rear of the profile across its entire span evens out the wing 's behavior, limiting deformation and guaranteeing consistent flight. In addition, the widening of the wingtips reinforces their strength, increasing resistance to collapse and ensuring superior passive safety in a variety of aerological conditions.

A new approach to braking

This EN A-approved paraglider redefines learning to fly thermals, thanks to its innovative braking system. By favoring a flat turn, centered on the wing, this system prevents the wing from diving during turns, making entering and maintaining thermals more intuitive for beginners. This feature also makes it much easier tooptimize lift, enabling new pilots to enjoy their first thermal experiences without difficulty.

Resistance and sturdiness: the secret of Supair's Eona 4 paragliding wing

For paragliding novices, the first few hours of learning involve a considerable number of launches, testing the resilience of their equipment. With this in mind, Supair 's design team has meticulously selected premium materials for every part of theEona 4, creating a glider that excels in terms of durability while maintaining optimum lightness.

The areas most exposed to friction and high tensions benefit from fabrics specially chosen for their robustness, prolonging the life of the wing. Sections less prone to wear are made from lighter materials, helping to lighten the overall wing for efficient inflation and smooth ascent. The introduction of redesigned diagonals allows a more even distribution of stresses across the profile of the canopy, resulting in a more wear-resistant structure capable of maintaining its performance over time.

To maximize durability and resistance to the challenges of learning, the internal partitions of theEona 4 stop short of the trailing edge. This design ensures an interconnection between all the boxes, facilitating the evacuation of dust and debris towards the wingtips, where specific openings allow easy cleaning. In addition, this paraglider also introduces an innovative design for the air inlets, with a unique bead shaping each box. Thanks to the "Easy Remove Roads" system, damaged rushes can be replaced quickly and inexpensively, ensuring simplified, cost-effective maintenance.

This meticulous approach to material selection and design of theEona 4 by Supair underlines the brand's commitment to providing a paraglider that is not only suitable for beginners, but also built to last, perfectly combining strength, lightness and ease of maintenance.
