Triton

Main characteristics:

• The TRITON is a serial high performance glider certified with LTF 2-3 / EN D and combines outstanding performance with a very balanced and precise handling characteristic.  
• The performance of the TRITON could only be found on competition wings a short time ago. Now the same performance can be used with a playful handling and a relaxing safety potential.
   
• The TRITON opens up new vistas for advanced cross country pilots because of the high performance potential combined with a safety level which is remarkable in this glider segment.

The other issue is of course the collapse behaviour. The TRITON is characterised by a very stable wing. Especially the centre of the wing hardly collapses. But of course, big collapses can occur in very turbulent conditions. The TRITON can be stabilised quite easy with a dosed brake input and the collapsed side reopens fast. Also big frontal collapses open fast and certain with a little brake input. The TRITON doesn’t tend to have cravattes after collapses. But in this glider segment with such a high aspect ratio, cravattes can happen after big collapses, however, learning the full stall recovery method from cravattes is recommended when flying this level of wing.

Performance:

In XC flying it is mainly the accelerated glide performance in turbulent air, which counts. We followed new paths in terms of airfoil and sail tension to maximise this performance characteristic. The result is a considerable higher maximum speed than on the TYCOON with clearly higher glide ratio in accelerated flight in calm air.

In turbulent conditions the performance advantage for the TRITON is even bigger.

Due to the precise handling characteristics the climb ability of the TRITON is very good – especially in demanding conditions.
