🛠️ Nova Prion 5 Key Features

🛡️ Best-in-Class Safety

The Prion 5’s most important quality is its exceptional passive safety. Certified EN-A, this glider forgives pilot errors, recovers quickly from disturbances, and provides a stable canopy even in turbulent conditions—making it ideal for student environments.

🎓 Designed for Training

Thanks to its forgiving launch behavior, the Prion 5 is a flight school favorite. Instructors will appreciate how quickly it rises overhead, holds position, and resists surges—even when students apply uneven pressure or brake inputs.

🎯 Predictable, Responsive Handling

Unlike earlier beginner gliders that felt “too dampened,” the Prion 5 keeps things engaging. Brake inputs translate into clean, predictable turns, and students learn proper glider control while still operating inside a safe envelope.

🧵 Design, Materials, and Technology

The Prion 5 combines Skytex 38/32 durable cloth with a redesigned profile that ensures a forgiving yet progressive flight experience. The wing incorporates NOVA’s cutting-edge Low Drag Line Layout, 3D Shaping, and Mini Ribs to refine its aerodynamic stability and responsiveness.

• Skytex 38/32 double-coated fabric for high durability

• Optimized Diagonals for structural integrity
• Fewer lines = less drag, quicker pre-flight
• Reinforced risers withstand intense school use
• Color-coded risers and brake lines make training simple

This makes the Prion 5 one of the most advanced school gliders on the market, yet with the same approachable behavior you’d expect from any EN-A wing.

🌬️ Launch, Flight, and Landing

🚀 Take-Off

Launching the Prion 5 is almost automatic. Even in nil wind, it rises evenly, centers itself, and stays balanced above the pilot. Students feel confident from their very first ground handling session.

✈️ Flight

In the air, the Prion 5 delivers a smooth, pitch-stable ride with just the right amount of brake pressure. It encourages good technique while tolerating minor mistakes, making it excellent for building muscle memory and wing control.

🛬 Landing

Brake travel is progressive and long, allowing for gentle flares. Even if a student misjudges the timing, the Prion 5 offers a wide margin of error for safe landings.
