In very high-speed competition gliders, the classic way of designing the leading edge is inadequate. Over many years, Gin Gliders have developed a patented technology called Rigifoil.
For speeds of 55 km/h and more, an enhanced system is now necessary to support effective leading edge stability. GIN engineers further enhanced this technology, creating a unique, elegant and sophisticated solution.
The Leading Edge battens of the Rigifoil Max system connect top and bottom surfaces, which, when combined with a unique inlet shape offers 3 main benefits:
> it alleviates deformation of the leading edge providing more stability over 55 km/h
> better performance and glide ratio at maximum accelerated speed
> better performance in head wind and rough condition situations
