High level glider for competition pilots

POPERA – An advanced competition wing by Davinci.

Davinci has developed an impressive and advanced competition glider: POPERA. We are proud to say that it creates a great rivalry with its competitors in the market!

Design and Competition Focus:

The POPERA is positioned as a top level EN D competition glider designed for serious sportsmen. This glider has a high level of performance and speed, therefore a highly skilled pilot with active input is required to fly the POPERA. The aspect ratio close to 7.0 indicates a sleek and aerodynamic design, contributing to increased performance, penetration and amazing glide!

Innovative Features:

Double Layer System (DLS): This technology is used to increase the internal pressure of the glider, bringing another cloth layer inside, which will reduce the risk of large collapses. This feature is crucial for stability and safety during flight, especially in turbulence and strong conditions.

Smart Nose System: This system is used to increase internal pressure by minimizing airflow out of the wing. This increases the internal pressure of the glider, thus improving the shape and stability of the glider, which will maximize performance.

Performance Highlights:

Super light acceleration: Makes it easier for pilots to push the bar, especially at full speed! Smart Control System (SCS) allows pilots to easily manage and control the wing even at high speeds, providing a confident and responsive flying experience, especially in turbulence.

Competitive edge: Davinci expresses its confidence in the Popera's capabilities, positioning it as one of the best on the market. The Popera has the potential to outperform other gliders in the current market!

To sum up,

POPERA, equipped with the latest Smart technology, sets a new standard for stability and collapse resistance in the D class category. This innovative technology enhances the glider's performance and makes it an exceptional choice for XC flying. POPERA makes D class XC flying safer than ever before. Pilots can embark on long distance flights with greater confidence, knowing that their wing is designed to handle a wide range of conditions effectively. This new generation of D gliders makes cross country flying easier and much safer than ever before! POPERA by Davinci is a state-of-the-art competition wing with innovative features designed to improve stability, safety and overall performance. With an emphasis on smart technologies and competitive design, Davinci aims to establish the POPERA as a new standard and a top contender in the cross country competition scene!
