Overall, the sheer amount of technology inherent in the Magnum 4 has made tandem flying the easiest and most non-technical we have ever experienced. The simplicity and low-stress nature of takeoff, flight and landing has brought a new level of joy and comfort to our tandem flights, and we look forward to hearing feedback from professional pilots on this new design.
THE TWO-SEATER PROFESSIONAL CHOICE
The Magnum is the all-new tandem wing designed for professional tandem pilots. Strong and versatile for any pro pilot, it excels in all conditions.
- Used by professional tandem pilots around the world.
-
Easy to take off and land.
-
Easy to handle, piloting comparable to a solo wing.
-
Durable design and materials.
We tested this new bi on various sites to be sure that it adapts to any type of flight. It takes off very well without wind and climbs progressively in strong wind. In flight, its pitch and roll stability ensures a comfortable flight and its handling is characteristic of OZONE, ensuring precise and dynamic piloting.
Fewer diagonals and more attachment points allow for a more balanced distribution of the load on the wing. Its aspect ratio of 5.11 and its 46 cells provide an impeccable surface finish and excellent performance, while maintaining easy inflation and limited wing weight. The Magnum profile is a new design, created specifically to meet the requirements of tandem flight. Its planform and the internal pressure of the wing have also been designed to obtain pleasant tension in the controls, easy takeoffs and performance.
The Magnum fabric is entirely made of Porcher Marine; the upper surface is made of the new Porcher Skytex 45 Evolution. This new material is extremely resistant to wear and stretch, creating a feeling of greater precision in flight and ensuring the longevity of the wing.
“This is the best tandem I have ever flown. Its handling is amazing but its best feature is definitely the ease of take-off and landing. I have yet to miss one, even in very choppy conditions here in India!”
John Silvester, somewhere in the Himalayas.
DESIGNER'S NOTES
THE CONCEPT
The Magnum is a completely new design and has little in common with our previous tandem wings. The Magnum's mission is to provide the ease of use, performance, durability and excellent handling that professional tandem pilots value so highly.
Pros need a wing that makes their job easier. The wing must be progressive when inflated with little pitch and the best possible flare to land easily even in the worst conditions.
These attributes are crucial but we wanted to go a step further and add performance and handling to make the Magnum the absolute must-have wing for professionals. The feedback is that the Magnum is the easiest, most enjoyable and most maneuverable tandem on the market and after a year of existence, its sales continue to increase, which says it all…
Another advantage is its resistance to wear to ensure professional use. The wing's planform and the materials used have been chosen so that the Magnum performs well for many seasons of professional activity.
NEW FEATURES
This is a completely new wing. The profile we use was specifically developed for the Magnum. More than a year of testing was necessary to obtain the results we wanted: pitch stability for progressive inflation and easy landing, solid performance and reduced control tension.
The new internal structure prevents the sail from deforming for more performance and better longevity. There are therefore more suspension attachment points on the wing to allow less stress on each line and mechanically less tension on each attachment and bulkhead. All the cells of the wing are reinforced by diagonals, completing the load distribution system.
Extrados: Skytex 45 Evolution for 2 reasons:
1. Skytex fabric is lighter: this is an important factor when you regularly carry a tandem as well as for the behavior of the wing in flight.
2. It is also a stiff fabric, which means less fabric deformation and greater longevity. It also means more pleasant handling and easier cornering.
The Magnum is smaller than our previous tandems (41m2). We chose to reduce the size to obtain a lighter wing, a more pleasant feel at the controls and better handling. Its small size is one of the factors that gives the Magnum almost the same feeling as a solo wing. Performance has not been sacrificed by making this reduction in size thanks to the all-new profile.
4 more cells for a well finished wing.
A greater elongation going from 4.7 for the McDaddy to 5.1 for the Magnum.
40 m of suspension reduction.
Reduced and better balanced internal pressure across the wingspan, which led to lighter control pressure and a smoother feeling in the air.
