BARRETINA HYPER LITE 5
1. DESCRIPTION
BHL5
is a single skin paraglider with a 5.66 aspect ratio (same as BHL3). With profiles, solutions, and details very similar to the BHL4, but with a more elongated shape in plan, and 39 panels instead of 35, and thinner profiles in central part. An
improved substitute of the BHL2, using the experiences adquired
with previous monosurfaces. The shape of the profile is the same as
BHL2, but with a different distribution of triangles and thickness. In this case, we
use 5 points of suspension for the profile, with the intention to
better define the trailing edge. There are two closed cells near the
wingtips with an elliptical inlet as BHL2-evo. The shape of the vault
is the same as BHL3 and BHL4. The list of lines proposed initially is the one
that comes out of the program, without modify. The nose will be
rigidified with two rods (contour and vertical compresion rod). The
skin tension will is increased with a variation more pronounced between
centre and extremes, and more smooth (using a new subroutine for skin
tension). Finally, the brakes will be fixed to the trailing edge with a
small "V" ribbon, to shorten the trailing edge when braking and
eliminate part of the ovalization and creating a more defined flap. All
of these details should provide a simple and efficient performance single skin
paraglider.
