The111 1 #1 April 19, 2005 Meaning, instead of a large open inlet at the front, they were closed, had some sort of a leading edge (I guess that would be the tricky part), and had mesh inlets on the bottom skin near the front? Would they deploy? Would they fly? Would they suck? Discuss. :)www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ph8068 0 #3 April 20, 2005 On a wingsuit, if you had a momentary loss of pressurization, its not safety issue as your arms and legs are supporting the wing structure. On a canopy, a loss in pressurization is an enormous concern as it may collapse due to the lack of rigid structure. Dropping the inlets below the leading edge will make the canopy more susceptible to disturbances in the air which may lead to loss of pressurization. The RAGE is clever design because it incorporates an airlock system, which lessens the chance of a collapse. Without this system, there may be a lack of test jumpers willing to give the canopy a go! So its possible, but not straightforward to move the inlets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
