RONIN – #bladerunnin

In feudal Japan (1185-1868), a rōnin (Japanese: 浪人, ‘drifter’ or ‘wanderer’, lit. ’a person of the waves’) was a samurai who had no lord or master.

Light and fast! Starting from 1 kg and 5L packed, the RONIN is our ultimate single surface to run and fly. And run. And fly. Nothing can stop you.
No gods, no masters

Designer’s words…

The RONIN was a wandering samurai who had no lord or master. Our glider follows the same path. It is intended for pilots looking for a single surface but with a more radical flying style. Combining the lowest weight and packing volume with the highest durability, the RONIN is made for running and flying – boundless, fast, with no order or restrictions: free in what you do! Break your own rules!

Construction & Features

=

Double coated Dominico DOKDO 10D, doubled seams and etching tape on edges: robustness is the key.

=

The lines are unsheathed Aramid 8001 Magix Pro Dry, hydrophobic and color-coded. Solidity has never been so easy to untangle.

=

The use of Nitinol rods not only saves weight and increases robustness, it also allows a super compact folding… To always slip it into your rucksack.

=

Leading edge and trailing edge are with mylar-border bands for structural strength. As well, this ensures the wing’s flying behavior.

=

On the leading edge, ground attachment loops can be used to prevent the paraglider from slipping on a steep and/or slippery slope (snow).

=

Inspired by aerodynamics design in cycling, the RONIN introduced a new profile named Kammtail

Technical Specifications

Light and fast! The RONIN is a versatile single surface glider depending on its weight loading. Choose the size that fits best to your favorite flying style, abilities or demands: from intermediate pilot to speed-flyer. Grab your RONIN and go runnin!

 

Take Off Weight is considered as the flight-mass (including Pilot, Glider, Harness, Reserve, Gear…)
EN 926-2 = flight test
EN 926-1 = load and shock test

The RONIN has a certified standard weight range (EN 926-2, e.g. EN-B) and an extended weight range which is covered by the EN 926-1 (load-test). In the first one, the glider flies in intermediate style and is already pretty fast. In the latter, the glider is more loaded and therefore the speed is much higher, it thus requires good skills for take-off and landing.

AirDesign has a small one

We work hard on every model to be able to maintain the behavior of the glider in terms of flying, and also outside the flight envelope, for all the certified weights, starting by the smallest ones. The certification of most of our wings starts at 50 kg because we chose to announce only what we have actually tested. And above all, because we make sure that the glider is efficient, secure and fun at this load and this is as important as the certification itself! Our aim is to have light pilots find the same pleasure to fly as heavier ones. More info

Speed Chart (Trimspeed)

 

How to choose your size – using the speed-chart

Simply, put in your Takeoff-weight – then the chart shows you at which speed each size is flying!
If you are looking for a kind of intermediate style – like having best combination of speed and take-off simplicity – then choose your size within the light-green indicated fields.
Dark-green indication shows already advanced trim-speeds which are giving more agility, dynamic and speed in a controlled manner.
NOTE: a trim-speed of around 37 km/h is said to be a standard speed for any paraglider – this speed balances all glider behaviours and pilot demands best.
Loading the wing up in the extended range (in pink) the gliders trim-speed will get faster – at the max-top loading even like a speed flyer! This demands high pilots’ skills for launching and landing due to the higher speed.

Certification:
All green highlighted fields and values indicate the full EN-certification (like EN-C or EN-B). Red coloured values/fields as well black values are covered by the EN-926-1 which is the shock- and loadtest.
