A SPECIAL NOTE ON SAFETY
The safety of our customers is our primary concern and no effort has
been spared in order to offer a maximum of guarantee in this field. Safety is conditioned
by two dominant factors:
1. Aerodynamic Stability:
After more than 30 years of evolution of the sport, a number of basic rules of stability
have become well established among manufacturers.
The hang gliders we are producing today are self-stable crafts, aerodynamically speaking.
Moreover they are able to withstand intense turbulence and recover from induced dives or
slips independently from the aid of the pilot.
We believe that the customer is not supposed to play the role of a test-pilot. Our
Prototypes are intensively tested and endlessly modified until they give full satisfaction
before entering into production.
In addition to that, each machine produced is individually test flown and tuned before
delivery.
2. Structural robustness:
We are systematically using the highest quality raw materials available. Some components
requiring a very high standard of resistance, such as the main frame tubing for instance,
are specially manufactured for us at our own specifications of alloy and tolerance.
Special stabilized sailcloth as well as Reputed Aero-Engines and Flight
Instruments are imported.
Structurally, our hang gliders and Microlights are designed and constructed to endure
stress up to six positive Gs or three negative Gs; this is far beyond the limit to which
they will be exposed even under extreme thermal conditions.
All components, tubing, cables are protected from corrosion either by anodizing, epoxy /
polyurhetane paints, cadmium passivation or galvanisation to ensure a long life of the
structures.
We should also mention that the best materials are of poor use if not handled and
assembled with proper technical know-how and experience. Our factory is operating under
the guidance of our Technical Director, a French designer well-known in Europe as well as
in India for his many accomplishments in the field during the past 30 years. We also keep
ourselves in constant touch with several European manufacturers, exchanging information.
This collaboration allows us to keep abreast with the latest state-of-the-art developments
in the field.
