A stiffer canopy is essential because the loading increases with the more rigid airframe. The Nova Pro features our stiffer MATRIX canopy in the high-load areas, while in the front, 1/3 of the canopy is a lighter-weight N-HTRS canopy material. Matrix is a high-performance stretch-resistant wing canopy material specifically designed to handle the higher loads of the N-Weave45 airframe. Compared to a traditional canopy, Matrix is 2.5x stronger in the 0/90deg warp/weft direction and 5x stronger in the 45deg bias direction. The stronger material gives your wing canopy greater structural integrity for longer, so it can maintain its designed shape over time, especially in overpowered conditions.

Light and precise handling

To counteract the greater canopy and frame stiffness and to ensure the wing remains stable at the top end, we’ve tapered the leading-edge diameter toward the wing tips.

Making the wing feel smooth to ride with a forgiving angle of attack, the curvature in the profile section ensures a smooth laminar flow attachment from the LE to the TE (no turbulence)– so the wing retains nose positive lift through all angle of attack changes. This means fewer micro-adjustments in your hand positioning and a lighter feel. When you do a tack, it pulls upward and enables you to glide around effortlessly without any tail drop. It also contributes to the Nova Pro’s excellent loft and hangtime.
