We started with a 9-cell planform and all the good stuff from the Safire 3, mixed in all we learned from the JYRO Student canopy, and made adjustments to help the wing perform beautifully at lighter wingloadings. With the JYRO Air’s (previously LZL) centre-cell vent and beefed-up inlets and crossposts, expect openings that are reassuringly soft yet far from sluggish – perfect for rookies getting a handle on the sky. Our designers poured their knowledge of designing tried-and-tested well-loved sports canopies and record-breaking high-performance canopies, into creating the best student wing out there; ensuring your students’ first flights are not only safe, but also brimming with confidence and progression.
