MICHAEL SOMMERAUER FLIES A FAI TRIANGLE WITH THE NEW X-ONE!

Icepeak X-One

Austrian pilot Michael Sommerauer flew an impressive 302 km FAI triangle with Niviuk’s new competition glider, the Icepeak X-One. The flight lasted for 11 hours and 20 minutes, achieving an average speed of 26,91 km/h and a maximum altitude of 3515 m.

Furthermore, the previous day he flew a 226 km flat triangle also with the new CCC wing. An 8 hours flight with an average speed of 27,88 km/h.

¡528 km in two days!

Congratulations Michael!

NEW HIGH PERFORMANCES AND MORE EFFICIENCY

HANDLING

HIGH COMFORT

X-ONE IN DETAIL

BETTER FINISH

A cleaner leading edge with less wrinkles focused to lessen the drag.
An optimized trailing edge with reinforcements and a canopy with a new assembling method.

TOTALLY NEW INTERNAL STRUCTURE

Better weight repartition.

NEW AIRFOIL

Better optimization of the lift position to be more performant in all the racing conditions and to be able to be faster at full speed.

NEW ASPECT RATIO 8

This is the highest aspect ratio we have ever done on a certified wing.

16 MORE CELLS THAN THE EVOX

This increasement achieves a cleaner surface and more compacity even with a high aspect ratio.

NEW RISERS

The optimization of the risers allows a better and more progressive acceleration repartition.

DISTRIBUTION OF ANGLES (VRILLAGE)

The optimization of all the angles in all the canopy assures less drag and better glide.

NEW ERGO HANDLE

The Ergo allows an intuitive piloting which is very efficient in high speeds.

TECHNOLOGIEN

3DL

3D Leading Edge

3DL technology is an adjustment of the fabric at the leading edge of the wing to control the ballooning and the creases that are generated by the curvature in this area. The leading edge is then divided into sub-panels which are sewn into each of the cells at the front of the wing. As a result, the leading edge of the wing is more evenly tensioned, which benefits the wing in performance and durability.
3DP

3D Pattern Cut Optimization

This technology seeks to implement the best orientation of the cloth on each panel according to its location on the leading edge. If the cloth pattern is correctly aligned with the load axes, the cloth suffers less deformation flight after flight, so the leading edge keeps its shape better and maintains its durability over time.
DRS

Drag Reduction Structure

With the application of the DRS, the airflow at the trailing edge is directed more progressively along the adverse pressure gradient with the aim of reducing the aerodynamic drag produced in this area. This increases performance without compromising safety or control of the wing.
RAM

RAM Air Intake

The Ram Air Intake system is characterised by the arrangement of the air inlets, to ensure optimal maintenance of internal pressure across the the whole range of angles of attack.
SLE

Structured Leading Edge

The SLE is a rigid structure located at the leading edge of the wing that eliminates the need for old-fashioned mylar reinforcements in this area, thus reducing the weight and increasing the durability of the wing. The leading edge will also have better turbulence absorbing qualities.
STE

Structured Trailing Edge

The STE provides a rigid structure at the trailing edge in order to maintain its shape in accelerated flight. In addition, the rigidity provided by these elements improves the load distribution, reducing wrinkles, and consequently drag, and therefore ensuring better performance.
TNT

Titanium Technology

Nitinol is a combination of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. This technology provides three outstanding benefits that increase the performance of the wing, compared to plastic rods.

PILOTEN

“The new Icepeak X-One offers a better gliding than the Evox. It’s the perfect combination between performance and efficiency in both thermals and transitions. It requires a bit of technic from the pilot, but its turns are truly enjoyable and intuitive.”
Loïs Goutagny
“From my point of view, the Icepeak X-One is the perfect definition of a competition glider. It’s elongated, with top performance and with a nice piloting. The fact of controling the wing and sensing the airmass assures a magic flight.”
Simon Pellissier
“The X-One is a very pleasant and efficient wing to fly due to its maneuverability that makes the glider precise in thermal. It also floats in unstable air conditions. I can’t wait to use it in competition! “
Tanguy Renaud-Goud
