DiSCovery3 is a modern Intermediate paraglider with EN B certification. The dynamic and fun behaviour, easy handling and impressive performance transform flying into an easy game.
Our primary goal during the Discovery3's design stage was to conserve all the advantages of our bestselling DiSCovery2 while incorporating the latest materials and foil design technology to give our new wing enhanced performance and durability. New sail fabrics give us the opportunity to make what we thought was a pretty good looking sail, even sweeter -- of course while maintaining safety and longevity.
The task is accomplished. We think we have achieved our goal and hope you have the opportunity to discover for yourself if we did. DiSCovery3 is a nice choice for both the amateurs of classics and the adepts of high-tech. DiSCovery3 is an excellent choice for both those who love classic designs and those who lure of high-tech materials and performance.
DiSCovery3 combines high passive safety and good nature of a classical Intermediate wing with agile, fun behaviour, explicit performance and innovative technical solutions which bring DiSCovery3 to the leading edge of modern glider design.
Advanced construction
DiSCovery3 has a complex internal structure. The compression straps, full-chord V-ribs and partially closed leading edge make DiSCovery3 amazingly tight, vibration-free and solid against collapses even at maximal speed which exceeds 50 km/h. The new bridle design reduced the amount of lines compared to Discovery2. This gives Discovery3 a better glide ratio and reduced sink rate .
The top surface is made entirely with Gelvenor OL-KS 49 g/m2, famed for its durability and protection from UV, giving Discovery3 greater longevity and toughness for when things get a little rough.
Safety first
Discovery3 has been certified as meeting the requirements of an EN Class B Paraglider.
