Safire-2
STU BEG INT ADV EXP


In 1998 Icarus Canopies released the Icarus Safire. A revolutionary canopy, being the first all purpose 9 cell canopy to include a lightly & truly elliptical planform shape offering superior openings and flight characteristics compared to competing mid-performance 9 cell designs at the time.

The Safire 2 goes one step ahead of the competition again. Like the original Safire it is a truly elliptical canopy with a light shaping incorporating a constant cell aspect ratio which consistently controls the airfoil shape across the canopy, maintaining increased rigidity and reducing drag.

The Safire 2 is an enhanced version integrating new trim and plan form shaping techniques offering an increased glide ratio, more responsive flight controls both on toggles and risers, a more powerful flare and a shorter recovery arc making the canopy even more predictable. The Safire2 has been designed as an all-round, no hassle mid-range canopy offering the benefits of a 9 cell performance but without getting radical or requiring any special attention. It's easy to use with no hassle consistent openings, easy packing and great landings. This makes the Safire's performance suitable for a wide range of uses. It is suitable for a first canopy when lightly loaded or can be a modern mid-range performing wing at heavier wing-loadings.

The result: An impressively balanced all-round wing offering superior opening qualities, exceptional glide and range, outstanding slow flight stability and superior safety. For those who want the latest that technology has to offer, but cant be bothered dealing with the issues normally associated with ellipticals, or don't wish to jump outdated designs with limited performance, then the Icarus Safire is the perfect choice.

Technical Information: Slightly elliptical Shape, 9 cells, Zero-Porosity-Fabric, collapsible Slider, Vectran suspension Lines. Icarus recommends it for wing loadings from 0,75 to 1,6 lbs/ft².
