Description

About EONA 4

The EONA 4 is both the ideal first glider for paragliding pilot beginner pilots and an ideal tool for the instructor accompanying them.

Optimized inflation, uniform glider rise and solid structure… Special attention has been paid to the glider structure and canopy to maximize the level of passive safety and make learning as accessible as possible.

Thanks to the R&D efforts of our team of designers, the EONA 4 benefits from innovations borrowed from the methods of design of high-performance sails, resulting in a glider The school is solid, reassuring and fun to fly.
Whether it’s by adding winglets or redesigning its Ribs / roads and diagnoals, the EONA4 sees its internal structure as well as its vault completely reworked, offering the pilot beginner one glider intuitive and forgiving. The pilot will feel safe while the instructor will have no trouble anticipating the behaviour of the glider in all aerological conditions.

Have unlimited fun with the EONA 4 on the school slopes and in the air! Materials have been carefully selected for maximum durability. Similarly, the more even distribution of loads and tensions on the Airfoil and the dirt evacuation system guarantee a long Life span life for your paraglider.

The EONA 4 is the ideal paraglider for discovering the sky with complete peace of mind.

THE WINGLETS

This fourth generation is the first to be equipped with winglets on the ends of the glider. These kinds of fins located on the ends of the Airfoil influence the behaviour of the glider and indirectly improve performance.

To ensure the safety of its pilot, a paraglider Dedicated to learning must be a stable spiral. The spiral refers to a rapid rotation around an axis close to the glider. While this is a manoeuvre deliberately used by more experienced pilots to lose altitude, it can sometimes be very fast and generate a strong centrifugal force that must be controlled. If pilots have to learn how to handle this maneuver on the higher performing wings, a glider School must tend to come out of itself without requiring any action from the pilot, this is what is called being stable spiral.

To achieve this, the angle of incidence of the wingtips on paragliders used in schools is increased to generate drag, which slows down the glider if it enters a spiral, causing it to exit and return to flight straight. The disadvantage of this method is that it degrades the straight-line performance of the glider , as the nose-up wingtips constantly create drag.

To enhance the glider’s performance, the winglets are aligned with the airflow at flight and do not create drag. It is when the glider enters a spiral that the winglets generate drag, which has the effect of limiting paraglider ‘s speed in the spiral and helping it to exit and return to flight .

Thanks to the winglets, the performance of your EONA4 is therefore guaranteed while ensuring excellent passive safety with an easy exit from the spiral.

NEW BRAKES

The EONA 4 is also a paraglider of choice for learning to wind your first thermals.

Braking has a direct influence on the glider’s performance in flight thermals, so we’ve chosen a braking system that favors flat turns. This type of braking, more focused on the center of the glider, prevents the glider from diving in the turn, making your first thermal turns easier.

Thanks to this behavior, it’s easier to optimize Lift / thermic to enjoy your first thermal laps without difficulty.

 

As you can see, the EONA 4’s mission is to make paraglider accessible to everyone. All its features have been designed to make it easy for pilots to learn beginner.

Whether you’re practicing on the ground or at flight, this glider will accompany you step by step as you progress, while ensuring the highest level of passive safety High .
