The SOMNIUM
Introduction
The SOMNIUM offers everything cross-country pilots are looking for: comfort, an
aerodynamic seating position with little drag and thanks to Hybrid Protection, an
impressive degree of passive safety. At only 3.7 kilograms (size S), the walk to
take-off is made a lot easier.
More safety
The SOMNIUM is fitted with an innovative Hybrid Protector. When the harness is
taken out of the bag the foam begins to expand. Once in the air, the foam protecti-
on is augmented by an airbag. This cushion of air not only supports the pelvic area
– but protects the whole back. For its type, the SOMNIUM offers a unique level of
passive safety.
More performance
Split loops give the SOMNIUM a seating configuration which makes it comfortable
and increases the glide performance. The tendency to roll is damped and this is
beneficial for glide ratio - particularly in turbulent air. The streamlined design and
slender pod underline its performance potential.
Less weight
Small packing size, little weight: due to its Hybrid Protection, the SOMNIUM can
be packed small and at 3.7kg (size S) is extraordinarily light - without compromi-
sing on passive safety. The foam protector can be highly compressed and apart
from the material, the airbag packs down to nothing. The SOMNIUM offers the
complete package of performance, safety and little weight.
