dragon2 2 #1 September 24, 2004 Anybody have pictures of birdman suits with white wings and colored ribs? I've seen the ones in "who's got the best suit" but I'd like to see some more, preferably in flight. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFlyZ 0 #3 September 25, 2004 My GTI has orange wings with black ribs? The black is barely visible under normal light. It might be visible if the sun is behind it. If these ribs were crossbraced........... Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are crossbraced wings a path the designs are headed towards?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

The111 1 #5 September 26, 2004 QuoteAre crossbraced wings a path the designs are headed towards? Heh, not knowing a thing about wingsuit design, I'm not sure if that question is absurd or very smart. It is interesting though. I'm sure WS makers have thought of it before but I know I hadn't, and this is the first mention I've heard of it...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymedic 0 #7 September 27, 2004 QuoteAre crossbraced wings a path the designs are headed towards? wouldn't work on a wing suit like it does on a canopy. as it is the loaded ribs that are cross braced on a canopy. it helps make the wing more rigid this way. there isn't a similar loading like that on a wing suit.

vesatoro 0 #8 September 27, 2004 Some more. Jari flying above Helsinki, Finland. I think the photo is taken by Jussi Laine. Vesa "Fear is the path to the Dark side" (Master Yoda) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
