Nova Ion. ION EN B / LTF 1-2

Paraglider, 2012, Nova Ion - ION EN B / LTF 1-2

Development:

The development of the ION took quite some time. Its predecessor, the ROOKIE, is a very safe and forgiving glider characterised by good performance and pleasant handling. There are currently around 2500 pilots flying the ROOKIE because of these qualities.

The ROOKIE has raised the bar for the ION and it took a lot of development and testing work to finally get the safety, handling characteristics and performance which we wanted for a successor to the ROOKIE. During this development process, we built and tested many prototypes with different aerofoils, plan forms and line setups.

Flying the ION:

The ION is extremely responsive in comparison with other low end gliders. Despite the big available brake travel, the ION can be piloted very precisely and sensitively in thermals.
