Centre Cell Vent & New Slider Design
Our aim was to create a canopy to perform well at super light wingloadings. The centre cell vent and new slider design on the JYRO Air (previously LZL) does just that - the starting point for confidence inspiring openings.
Larger Crossports & Inlets
Openings are the beginning of an AFF students’ canopy flight and sets them up for success. That first moment is key to them falling in love with flying, and to help them feel comfortable and confident in their first flights. The openings are reassuring - not so slow that it chews up height, but still soft.
Pack & Track Colour Scheme
The JYRO Air keeps the Student canopy’s vibrant split colours. The dual-coloured lower surface and alternate coloured line tabs have invaluable educational value for pre-A-licence packing skills - they can quite literally pack-by colours. It also has the practical benefit of making the wing distinguishable from sports wings at a glance AND showing what direction it’s flying. Easy identification of students for AFF instructors on ground crew and radios.
Future Friendly Design
We don’t believe only Petra pilots should benefit from high-end aerodynamic design. So we’ve elevated the idea of the student parachute to fit with JYRO’s modern canopy standard - using all the knowledge we gained developing our full spectrum of sports and high performance wings. The technology AND the feeling of flight under the JYRO Air is cutting edge, not out-dated. It will last your students well into the their canopy progression and set them up to safely fly the sports mains of today. Invest in excellence, set the safety standard, and keep students coming back for more. The JYRO Air is your ticket to optimized training experiences and happy students.
Investment Value
The JYRO Air is made from our signature long-lasting J²-ZP high-tenacity 30-denier silicone coated ripstop fabric and Vectran lines, as opposed to competitor wings made of less sturdy materials. Having modern student equipment will add value to your students’ flying experience and keep them coming back for more. Newer gear also means a higher level of safety and less maintenance costs - plus you are covered by our warranty.
OPENINGS: WHAT TO EXPECT
They are soft but not slow, making the JYRO Air even more reassuring and consistent than its counterparts. This is a canopy specifically designed for light wingloadings.
FLIGHT INPUTS & RESPONSIVENESS
Full-on confidence-boosting. Anticipate smooth, deliberate responses to every command your students send its way. A breeze for beginner skydivers to get the hang of, with lots of range.
STALL POINT & CONTROL RANGE
Super low stall point, a dream for new skydivers. Forgiving and easy to recover from.
OVERALL FLIGHT PERFORMANCE
The JYRO Air has plenty of range. With a 3.0-3.5 glide ratio, your students will be soaring back to their landing area. Despite its newbie tag, it’s also got a sense of fun and responsiveness. This canopy is designed to prepare your students for flying a sports wing as they level up.
FLARE POWER & LANDINGS
The JYRO Air has been designed to anticipate standard AFF student blunders and mistakes. They are learning, after all! It’s got them covered with a powerful flare, letting your students slow-mo their descent. It’s all about building their confidence after opening and on landing from the get-go, even if the timing’s a bit off.
