Shape
Front wing
The shape of the YPRA is dedicated to pure speed and incredibly fast upwinds. This new front wing is made to win official races or between friends.
High aspect
The very slender outline of this wing gives it a lot of finesse by reducing the chord and the thickness of the profile. Performance is greatly improved since much less drag is generated, without losing lift at a constant surface. We even gain a little since the profile will fly faster overall, speed being the source of lift.
Profile thickness
The profile is very thin, with an almost sharp attack and a supercritical profile. It’s technical to get to cruising speed and impossible to slow down!!! Supersonic.
The camber
The “omega” shaped camber gives the wing a lot of stability which reassures and allows you to press the accelerator pedal even more.
Max width
The placement of this lift point is constant throughout the range so as to always keep the same setting for the same behavior when changing wing size.
Stab
The high aspect ratio shape of the Veloce H stabs is dedicated to speed/glide in all disciplines: racing, surfing, downwinders and pumping. It glides without restraint and with great neutrality.
Outline
The very slender outline of this stab gives it a lot of finesse by greatly reducing the chord and the thickness of the profile. Performance is significantly improved since much less drag is generated, without losing lift for a constant surface. We even gain a little since the profile will fly faster overall, speed being the source of lift.
The type of profile
The new profile of the stab is more lifty at low speed but remains thin compared to the rest of the range. Its intrado is very slightly hollowed in the rear third to allow incredible glide and improves lift. It’s thin but offers quite some lift. The high aspect ratio smoothes the behavior of the stab with great profile tolerance at high speeds for more control on full speed runs.
The leading edge is more pinched than on other stabs in the range to achieve a higher top speed. The feeling of acceleration is crazy.
Dihedral
This stab has a light dihedral with an almost constant downward curve which returns close to the horizontal near the tips. The stability is clear and very easy to feel, especially when you want to recover from a stall. The tips are further from the surface, especially when sailing upwind, at high speed, and it carves, but with a moderate camber so as not to generate steering aberrations.
The fuselage
This stab is only compatible with our new Titanium or Aluminum Pro Fuselage. The tail of the stab in full carbon makes it possible to optimize the shape of this part of the foil to reduce its drag as well as its weight. The rear portion of the fuselage is included in this stab. It is ultra streamlined to reduce drag by 3. A real Pro fuselage which frees up all the front wings of the range to make them gain 3 to 5 knots in top speed under the feet of a pro.
This back fuselage is so efficient that it boosts handling by leaving less drag. Its very small section close to the stab makes it much easier to drift and close turns.
The fitting/profile connection fillets have been optimized for more glide. But they also prevent twisting for perfect rigidity.
The trapezoidal fitting system with the Pro fuselage ensures perfect firmness of the assembly without the need for counter-screws. The whole thing gives a very nice foil, light, rigid and devilishly efficient!
