Description
Light Tech
Coming in at 800 grams lighter than the Photon, the new Lyght offers the highest performance lightweight experience possible in the Sport (EN C) class.
Designed for pilots who want the improved inflation, agility and handling inherent in light wings, the Lyght is a solid and dependable wing for big mountain adventures. The reduced sail weight makes a noticeable difference in the handling. The weight reduction is due to a complex internal structure derived from the Zeolite GT development. The ultralight internals yield the same solidity and rigidity with reduced sail weight and improved handling.
Like the Photon, the Lyght is compact and solid throughout the speed range thanks to the stable profile, and the span & chordwise sail cohesion. It is trimmed for safety & ease of use. The performance of the wing is immediately apparent – we have never flown an EN C wing with so much glide. It is a true 2-Liner wing, allowing the pilot direct angle of attack control throughout the speed range using a new adjustable B-riser control system developed specifically for the Lyght.
Performance
Incorporating many design features of the Enzo and our highest performance wings, the glide and speed of the Lyght is at the top of its class. Lightweight construction improves the inflation and handling characteristics, and the improved sail cohesion and moderate aspect ratio makes it manageable and comfortable to fly in turbulent air. In terms of speed, it is the fastest EN C wing we have ever built, the top speed is only slightly less than the Zeno2. Importantly it is solid and comfortable at these speeds and the winglets improve the roll stability for higher levels of efficiency in accelerated flight.
Passive Safety
Extensive in-house collapse testing by the Ozone R&D team has proven that the wing easily meets the safety requirements of the class, with side and frontal collapse behaviour very similar to the Delta 4.
The Pilot
The Lyght is ideal for experienced pilots looking for lightweight performance who have prior time flying EN C category wings, and recent SIV experience.
