NOVA Insights #11: Philipp Medicus – Innovative paraglider development & simulation tools (English)

In this episode of the NOVA Insights, Philipp Medicus will talk about paraglider development and the use of the latest simulation tools. He deals with topics such as
– Which are the steps of a paraglider design?
– The design-brief – what shall the wing be able to do?
– When to release a new wing
– Work on an existing platform or design everything completely new?
– What is the difference between the design software and the simulation software?
– What makes our new software unique?
– How important are the test pilots?

Philipp Medicus studied mechanical engineering and heads the NOVA R&D team. His "pen" has produced gliders such as the MENTOR 7 (Light), BANTAM, and XENON – and now the new ION 7 (Light).

The NOVA Insights are a series of interactive online-presentations. Of course, this episode will be recorded, so you can still watch it later. But you can only ask questions in the livestream chat (you have to be registered on YouTube).
The NOVA Insights are aimed at ALL paraglider pilots - no matter what brand of wing they fly. The Insights are no marketing yada yada, they are about sharing knowledge and experience, and above all about "making you want to fly". Each episode lasts about 60 to 90 minutes.

Danke, sehr informativ! 
Nach längerer Flugpause werde ich mir den Ion 7 genauer anschauen. 
Freue mich auf release ...

Interesting and informative. Waiting for quantum computing hardware/software 😉
