SPEEDって'ボウ-カイト'? Is the SPEED a 'Bow-kite'?


Foilzone.comから'ボウ-カイト'とSPEEDを比較しやすい写真を掘り出しました:
SPEEDのパワーの原型が分かりやすく示されています。(幅の広い翼!)
SPEEDと'ボウ-カイト'の形は似ているかもしれませんが、SPEEDはラムエアーカイトの独特な特徴、
そして性能を保っています。
A picture I dug up from Foilzone.com that clearly compares the 'Bow-kite'&SPEED.
The source of the SPEED's power can clearly be seen. (Its WIDE wing-span!)
The SPEED may be similar in shape with the 'Bow-kites', however, the SPEED retains the benefits of Ram-air kites, as well as performance.

はい。私もアスペクトを比べるとCrossbowはXTCの近いと思います。SPEEDのアスペクトはすごく高いです!ブライダルがあるラムエアーだからこそ羽全体支えられハイアスの性能を精一杯ひきだせますよね。

5.9と言うアスペクトであって、安定と扱いやすさに驚きでした!

Yes, the aspect ratio of the Crossbow is better compared to the Extacy. The aspect ratio of the SPEED is extremely high! Its due to the fact that the SPEED is a bridled-foil, of which its wing-span is fully supported, that it is able to take full advantage of such a high aspect ratio.

I was very surprised at how stable and easy to handle the kite was. Even with an aspect ratio or 5.9!
