The Swing Naja Glider
We are very happy to let you know, that our new PPG wing named NAJA has successfully passed the DULV flight-tests in three sizes. Also the load test has been done up to 170 kg max. take-off weight at 8g. (that's 374 lbs) Please note that this is no bluff package at all. We really did all the maneuvers like full stall, one side collapse a.s.o. with the max. take-off weight and trimmers fully open. It took us a long time to finish the NAJA, but now we are proud to present the very first Motor-Glider certified according to the new DULV Advance standards.
NAJA is the Latin generic term for cobra. And thatīs what the glider is: very fast and agile but easy to launch. Target group should be the advanced pilots as the NAJA requires more piloting skills than beginer wing's. Please note that the NAJA will not replace the STING or SILEX, but will be added to our POWERPLAY and FRESH BREEZE product range.
Just to let you know up front, this brand new motor-glider does not have a reflex profile. The reason for this is that for the time being it is not possible to get an honest certification on gliders with such a profile due to itīs reactions to extreme maneuvers. And by the way: you will see that it is possible to realize stability and speed with conventional profiles too ? but with more unoffending flying characteristics and much better launching behaviour.
The three certified sizes cover a take-off weight range from 95-170 kg. The NAJA can be supplied with either the POWERPLAY standard back-pack or with the POWERPLAY stuff sack . Like the current SWING gliders, the NAJA is also made from the high-quality and durable fabrics Perseverance PN6 and Toray WT7.
