DAVINCI Smart Snake System (SSS)

SSS (Smart Snake System), is the final destination for extra stability and fast recovery.
SSS is like the longitudinal and horizontal framework of the profile. The shape memory alloy (Nitinol wire) is placed in the shape of a snake so that it always keeps the shape of the profile and ensures fast recovery in case of collapse. Which are almost impossible to induce because of SSS.
Smart Snake System (SSS) will help you utilize your running instinct and relieve you from the anxiety of collapses in unstable weather.

A new standart in paragliding tecnology are quite big words... Lets see if other Brands will follow your design

[@faa3779]

The various paragliding manual you can find says that paragliders need to collapse to adapt to the shape of the air, all the paraglider brands that tried to make it uncollapsible had to step back because of that. When encountering strong turbulent air masses they can get in non recoverable situations that are more dangerous than a predictable collapse. It would be nice to see in long term if this can be a solution, a siv or certification procedure video will be nice to see to show the glider interact with collapse and recovery.

Its not a rigid frame. Chill. They didnt have nitinol back then.

@faa3779 passed the EN test means that the procedure for all the processes has been carried out. Applying these new technologies to create the collapse of the glider was actually the biggest challenge for us as a test pilot. It was a tough procedure, but we did it successfully, SSS was initially applied to many more cells, but the final authentication model was applied to four cells. The cravat situation you are concerned about does not occur. SSS exists only in the center and group 2nd, Thank you.

Passed EN-A testing means it passed testing designed for gliders that came before it. Be straight. You got your product over a hurdle and time will tell, with sufficient units flown whether this design is truly beneficial.
