Design and development

The wing is a cable-braced, king post-equipped hang glider-style wing that was designed as an advanced, top-of-the-line wing for the Air Creation Skypper two-place trike, although it can also be fitted on the earlier Air Creation GT series of trikes as well. It comes in one size, with a wing area of 15.2 m2 (164 sq ft). [1] [2] [3]

The wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. It has a span of 9.55 m (31.3 ft) span wing, a nose angle of 130°, an aspect ratio of 6.0:1 and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. Like the similar Air Creation BioniX wing, the NuviX incorporates a unique "corset" system that allows the pilot to adjust the wing's trailing edge geometry in flight to optimize performance. This results in a large speed range and good handling characteristics in turbulence, without heavy roll control. [1] [3] [4]
