ANAKIS (2009-2012)

ANAKIS, EN B and LTF 1 certified wing, is mostly to be used by novice pilots after their initial training course who seek safety and performance in a wing that is able resolve any troubles in the air, should they come. It might also be favoured by occasional pilots who fly infrequently but once they're airborne, they seek a wing with high passive safety and the performance to even go XC.

In the EN B description range, this glider could be described as a low EN B level wing.

ANAKIS offers high levels of safety, tremendously easy take off responsiveness, remarkable acceleration using the speed system and performance good enough for XC flights.

The main distinctive features are:

• high safety level
• extremely easy take-off even in difficult conditions
• minimal sink rate and high gliding ratio
• high acceleration using the speed system.
• very nice and comfortable SKY handling
• predictable manoeuvres even in non standard flying regimes
• very low weight (4.6 kg in M size)
• state of art manufacturing and high quality
• material usage (distinctive material – skytex evolution – with a higher abrasion protection used on the leading edge to minimize the increasing values of porosity and a water repellent coating on the rest of the wing that minimizes ageing and degradation of the glider)

ANAKIS  is also suitable for MPG and PG flying. This glider can be delivered with risers with or without trimmers.

Each glider is delivered with:

• free Porter bag
• free T-shirt SKY TEAM

The French company Porcher Sport, which is part of the NVC GROUP, supplies the glider fabric. In the last two years Porcher Marine have been heavily involved in fabric development; creating new and more durable coatings which has led to a new generation of materials known as New Skytex.

The new coating is much more resistant to abrasion, humidity and UV light.

All the upper panels and all the design pieces are produced of the Skytex 40 Deperlant (water-repellent coating) material by Porchers Sport. The leading edge (heavily loaded part of the glider) is manufactured of Skytex 45 Evolution with water based double sided coating. Bottom panels are manufactured of Skytex 40 with the Classic coating. Profiles and diagonals or diagonal segments are produced from Skytex 40 hard finish.

The fabric is manufactured using the “Rip Stop” weave structure, out of superpolyamid (PA 6.6) by the American firm DU PONT.

Line scheme

The lines on the ANAKIS are of the highest quality and are supplied by the German firm EDELRID. These lines create high resistance from mechanical abrasion as well as a high degree of length stability.

The upper gallery of the line scheme (forks) is manufactured using the EDELRID lines 7550–080 (diameter 1 mm). The main lines are made of 7850–160 and 7850–200 (diameter 1.5 and 1.6 respectively). The core is made of “dyneema” and lines are covered by polyester sleeves.

Risers

The risers are made from 20 mm wide webbing, it is manufactured by our supplier MOUKA TIŠNOV. The suspension lines are connected to the risers by means of quick links (maillons) from the French supplier Maillon Rapide.

In 2007 Sky Paragliders company was certified as a 100% SKYTEX partner for Porcher Marine fabrics. That allows us to use the latest development benefits and share them with all our pilots. Also the certification ensures that the whole glider is made of the same material and that SKY PARAGLIDERS do not combine the best available quality of Porcher with any other materials available in the market.
