Aerodinamica da selete Range 2 - Skywalk

Aerodynamic Research on the skywalk RANGE2

Off into the Jets

The Daimler Wind Tunnel has impressive dimensions:125 m long, the cross section surface of the jet measures32 square meters.A maximum wind speedof 250 km/h is achieved with an engine output of 5.000 kw (6.800 PS) and air quantityof 9.000 m³.

many different parameters play a role in the development of a harness. Along with the comfortable sitting-prone positions, the harness weight should remain low, the accelerator should work efficiently and safety should be guaranteed. Aerodynamics play an especially important role in a prone harness like the RANGE2.
The pilot must be nestled advantageously to flow, in order to fully profit from the performance of the paraglider. The best way to see how this works is in the wind tunnel. The skywalk Team traveled to the huge Daimler Wind Tunnel in Stuttgart in 2010, with the goal of optimising the aerodynamics of the RANGE2 harness..
In a prone harness, the pilot represents almost 20-percent of the total drag, meaning that with an optimisation of harness aerodynamics, performance can be significantly affected.The drag of a conventional seated harness with a relatively upright position, such as the RANGE1, is almost double that of a good prone harness.
The drag created by the RANGE2 is significantly lower, thanks to the redesigned sitting position and optimal construction. We recorded a drag value of only 12N with the RANGE2.This is an improvement of 33-percent compared to the RANGE1! The smoke trails make the good flow rate visible and confirm the design of the harness.

The skywalk measurements in the Daimler Wind Tunnel showed that it is clearly better to correct pilot position so that the legs lie in a relatively high position. Then the surface of the harness is almost parallel to the approaching air.
The aerodynamically formed back part (including 17 cm foam protector) and integrated cockpit both contribute to the very good results of the RANGE2. It is noticeably effective at diverting air flow from the pilot‘s upper body.

Side view of the RANGE2, surface of the harness aligned approximately parallel to air flow, drag: 12 N
A small performance calculation demonstrates the influence of harness aerodynamics on the glide performance of a paraglider:
A CAYENNE3 achieves a glide ratio of 8 with an upright position and conventional seated harness. With a good prone harness like the RANGE1, this ratio improves to 9,3. The RANGE2 represents the pinnacle, with a glide ratio of 9,8.

Result:

For the performance oriented pilot who wants maximum performance, there is no alternative to an aerodynamically-optimised harness.

.

The individual measurement values with their impact on glide ratio:

Harness	Drag in N	change in Drag percentage	resulting glide ration on CAYENNE3	Change in glide ratio
Seated Harness	34	plus 88%	8	minus 14%
Prone RANGE1	18	-	9,3	-
Prone RANGE2	12	minus 33%	9,8	plus 5,5%

Selete RANGE 2 - Skywalk

Prone Harness: RANGE 2

More and more pilots are enjoying the advantages of a full pod harness.

The wind tunnel optimised competition- and cross country- harness RANGE2 awaits with a wealth of new features, including; a carbon seatboard, ergonomic cockpit, 17 cm foam protector and 5 different sizes from XS to XL. All contribute to form a very harmonious unit.
Oliver Teubert, cross country ace and a significant contributor to the comfortable design of the RANGE2, sums it up:
“A cross country harness not only has to be exceedingly comfortable, every detail has to satisfy. When I am approaching 10 hours in the air, I need to feel totally relaxed and without distraction. In addition, the RANGE2 offers sensational drag values, a real glide advantage for me!”
This statement was confirmed in the Daimler Wind Tunnel, where the RANGE2 boosted the glide ratio of a CAYENNE3 for example, from 9,3 to 9,8, with the 9,3 having already been measured from a prone harness
The competition harness RANGE2 is designed for all pilots who demand maximal performance from their harness, along with the highest level of comfort for hours in the air.
The RANGE2 has LTF certification (DHV) and has been developed especially for competitive pilots and cross country mileage hounds. Our measurements have shown that an optimised, full pod harness drastically reduces pilot drag and therefore considerably increases glide performance.
Some highlights include an integrated, aerodynamically formed cockpit for flight instruments and additional neoprene pocket on the leg fairing for camera, gloves, snack etc.
The high comfort factor of the RANGE2 is achieved primarily through the new adjustable back part. It is cushioned with a special netting and the geometry has a completely new design.
The rescue container of the RANGE2 is located in the lower front area and is integrated under the carbon seat board. The rescue handle is attached on the side of the harness for easy access.

Even with the implementation of high quality materials and an intelligent belt-buckle-concept, the skýwalk RANGE2 remains a very light harness. In a nutshell, the RANGE2 from skywalk stands out with the following features:

• The new, adjustable back part, cushioned with webbing, provides a high level of comfort
• The back part is also breathable and fits well to the body, therefore providing ideal contact, yet still enough space
• The integrated, aerodynamic cockpit is ideally angled for flight instruments
• The rescue container is integrated under the carbon seat board and rescue handle is easily accessed
• The internal 2-Step Speed System provides optimal possibilities for acceleration
• There is ample storage space on the back
• The cushioned leg straps provide additional comfort
• The foam back protector insures that the pilot has the necessary protection in his/her back area
• Additionally, water ballast and drink system can be integrated
• Carabiners are steel carabiners from Austri Alpin
• Last but not least, the RANGE2 has LTF certification

The skywalk RANGE2 - the comfortable performance step-up for your glider!

Selete CULT 3 Skywalk

Cross Over Harness:CULT 3

CULT 3: Detailed Solutions with Style

The CULT harness with permanent foam protectors has been a pilot favourite for years and has been continually advanced. In 2005, we introduced the Automatic Separation System for the leg stirrups and the SOS card. Working together with the motorbike industry, we developed the Side Protectors in 2007.
In the case of a lateral impact, the pilot comes away with a bruise instead of a pelvic fracture. 2008 brought the development of the Automatic Separation System for the Speed System. Size set, seat board, seat board depth, back part and design have all been optimised again in 2010.
The CULT3 is recommended for beginners to XC- and Acro-pilots with excellent passive safety and very high comfort.
Recommendation: Paraglider backpack size M
Optional accessory: MI Permanent Side Protectors
