free.aero MAGAZINE THE EDITOR’S OPINION _________________________________________________________________
The Koyot 1 in 2008, the Koyot 2 in 2012, and the Koyot 3 in 2016: logical. The Koyot 1+2 were excellent beginner wings renowned amongst instructors for their accessibility, their ease of inflation and their tolerance. A version 3 integrating technology such as the SharkNose, better 3D shaping and Nitinol rods for the first time, should give a very promising result. In addition, the wing has shed 500 grammes which is good during inflation, as well as for its behaviour in the air.
The design of the internal structure gives a wing which is very compact and with good damping during turbulence.
By giving the performance and steering a bit extra, this could make the Koyot 3 a very flexible wing, which will take pilots a long way in their flying career. To be tested…
