Target :
Cross-country : We developed numerous prototypes to achieve a high level of performance that is accessible and comfortable in real flying conditions. Explore new horizons with the Artik R 2.
Competition : The new profile is more stable than the previous model. Its internal structure has been completely redesigned. The Artik R 2 stands out for its efficiency in thermals and its stability at high speed, making it ideal for your first steps in competition.
Artik R 2 technical specifications :
Less drag, more performance : The two-liner design reduces the number of lines and therefore drag, thus improving performance. We have been able to reduce the lineset by 2%, despite the addition of 4 more cells, compared to the previous model.
Optimised accessibility : Much more accessible and easier to fly. The Artik R 2 is light and responsive in thermals. Piloting with the B-risers is efficient, safe and precise.
Better passive safety : Thanks to improvements in stability, a moderate 6.5 aspect ratio and Niviuk technologies applied in its design, the Artik R 2 offers increased passive safety.
Technologies featured on the Artik R 2 :
New profile: The design of the new profile is much more pitch stable than its predecessor: the wing dampens efficiently and cuts through the air mass without losing energy.
Reinforced internal structure: The internal structure has been completely redesigned and the attachment points reinforced to ensure optimal stability. The orientation of the internal slots, ribs and diagonals has been revised to better distribute the loads and reduce the overall weight of the glider.
Improved DRS integration: Thanks to DRS technology, the mini-ribs are integrated directly into the seams, eliminating external seams and protecting the wing from wear due to friction with the ground.
TNT Technology: Nitinol. Nitinol rods incorporated into the profile prolong the operational life of the wing and maintain its shape, even after being compactly packed multiple times.
