1.5 ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS
The DOBERMANN is delivered to its owner together with a series of
components that, although not fundamental, do take an important part in
the use, transport and storage of the paraglider:
- The new large capacity Kargo rucksack 175 L. Capacity and comfort all
in one.
- A folding bag to protect the wing when packing and carrying.
- An adjustable strap for quick and easy compression to fold the wing as
small as possible.
- A small fabric repair including auto adhesive rips top (same colours of
the wing) and replacement maillon blockers.
1.6 PROFILE
The DOBERMANN project demanded a profile which would achieve
PPG efficiency above all others taking powered flight forward and into
the future. The new profile not only advances the understanding of
aerodynamics and efficiency but also allows the reduction of surface area
and the materials used.
Its ability to inflate is extraordinarily easy, thus eliminating the need for
high speed during takeoff and landing. This huge advantage basically
resulted from the RAM Air Intake technology used for the first time in
Paramotor design.
The RAM Air Intake permits to reach an optimal air inflow configuration
(below the glider’s leading edge aligned with the intrados) to obtain a
rapid, progressive, stable inflation. This profile modification results in
more comfortable faster and tighter glider turns.
Another strong point in the DOBERMANN is the evolution of the Reflex
System Profile (RSP). This innovation works together with the previous
design to improve gliding, speed and safety. In addition, it cuts down
on fuel consumption: less engine power is needed to obtain the same
performance level, so you can set your own limits.
• The leading edge is outfitted with SLE and RAM Air Intake.
• The DOBERMANN inflates easily and immediately ensuring only short
low speed runs are necessary to take off.
• Once airborne the trim system allows easy and precise adjustment to
achieve cruising speeds substantially higher than the average in the PPG
category.
• The trim system has easy read metric markers to allow accurate and
symmetrical adjustments.
• The highly efficient Niviuk Reflex System Profile (RSP) unlike
conventional reflex profiles requires less power to speed ratio so
significantly reducing fuel consumption whilst cruising.
• The new and efficient profile of the DOBERMANN enables the wing to
glide through the air mass with very little resistance.
• The SLE and RAM Air Intake ensure a solid leading edge in all
conditions and is highly resistant to deflations.
• The RSP maintains a constant airflow enhancing the efficiency of the
trim system.
• A significant reduction in the total number of lines reduces parasite
drag adding to the improvement of fuel consumption and optimising the
thrust.
• During acceleration the DOBERMANN will remain on an equal axis
experiencing minimum torsion influence from the rotational forces of the
propeller.
• During all manoeuvres the handling and turning remain smooth, precise
and dynamic yet completely predictable and balanced throughout.
• High stability throughout the wide speed range allowing confident slow
low level flights to high altitude high speed cruising.
