The gnuEASY aims to
show a very easy to design paraglider. Has only 2x11
cells. All the suspension lines (all) have the same length: 410 cm (M size). The
lower panels are parallel-sided (many of them absolutely rectangular).
The upper panels are tapered correspondingly, but many are the same.
Glide ratio? enough. The gnuEASY question is ease and fun.
Two versions are planned. The gnuEASY "b" (basic), with lines without ramifications and odd cells without anchorage points (floating ribs). Version gnuEASY "a" (advanced), with branches and lines in all the ribs, with a little more performance.
The plans are available in three different sizes: S (21 m2), M (26 m2) and L (30 m2).
