Freeway 3

3905,00 € – 4211,00 €

FreeWay 3 was developed for those who want to learn and improve their acrobatics, and at the same time have a wing with better performance than advanced aerobatic wings. It is universal enough for you to have some fun on the cliffs or dunes.

Description

The greatest achievement in the new Freeway is that it allows you to perform all acro figures, including infinity tumbling, while allowing for even smoother transitions between them.

Freeway 3 is a continuation of the earlier wings developed by Jean Baptiste-Chandelier, a specialist in freestyle and aerobatic flying.

Freeway3 is designed for beginner and intermediate acro pilots. To fly it, experience gained on SIV courses and the ability to properly perform a full stall are necessary. The wing will then be the right tool to master all other maneuvers.

Design and construction

We have devoted a lot of work to optimising the shape of the valves on the inlets in order to obtain right air pressure in the canopy when performing aerobatics. Some of the inlets on the stabilisers have a special mesh that maintains their optimal shape. The wing is also equipped with a trimmer.

FreeWay 3 is meant to be both fun and safe – that’s why we adopted the principle of small areas (= high dynamics of behaviour) and low aspect ratios, so that it can be used in a really wide take-off weight range – up to 120 kg.

Thanks to the careful selection of modern fabrics and design solutions we ensured the wing’s durability.

All materials used come from numbered batches, and each production stage can be verified (down to specific worker and controller).

The production process takes place in our facility in Poland under the strict control of the designer himself, thus ensuring the highest European quality of workmanship.

Design solutions, technologies and other functionalities mentioned are below in the Technologies section.

 

Construction solutions

TECHNOLOGIES

CSG – Canopy Shape Guard – is our unique system controlling canopy coherence. It is because of this system that our wings are equally tensioned, smooth, stable and… simply remarkable.

 

Air Inlets Valves (AIV) – the system consists of special valves on the inlets of the canopy, faithfully reproducing their shape. The valves remain open to incoming air during take-off and standard flight and close to the air flowing out of the canopy.

LR – Laser Technology – Capabilities of the laser cutter allow for serial cutting of complicated shape narrow elements in large numbers, their optimal placing in relation to structure of the textile and highest possible precision of cut.

 

FET – Flexi Edge Technology – The leading edge is closed to the airflow, and its precise shape is kept with laminated cloth reinforcements, incorporating synthetic rods. The rods make the leading edge stiffer and smoother, bringing improvements in many areas – from easier inflation, through stiffening the canopy in flight to improved general airflow.

ACS – Auto Cleaning Slots – Dedicated slots automatically removing dirt from the wing tips.

Risers functionality

USED SOLUTIONS

ACT – Adjustable Comfort Toggle

Steering handles with adjustable loop size. Finished with soft neoprene, equippped with a swivel adn Easy Keeper. Optional for all other paragliders. Especially acro flyers and speed riders praise this solution.

NP – Napy

Metal clasps for attaching the brakes to the risers.

SS – Speed System

A system of lines and pulleys sewn to the appropriate straps, connected to the bar hanging under the harness. It enables smooth adjustment of the angle of attack during the flight.

TR – Trimmers

A trimming system for additional angle of attack regulation. Used mainly in PPG wings.
This system features replaceable trim straps. After prolonged or intensive operation they need to be replaced, as they get damaged by buckle edges.

Load test: EN:926-1

* The basic rule is to choose the size of the wing so that the take-off weight is in the middle of the weight range.
Note – the canopy significantly changes its behaviour with increasing wing loading. The greater the loads, the greater skill and concentration of the pilot are  required.
