What are the main trends in Wing construction, materials and design?
The main trends in wing construction, materials, and design focused on achieving the optimal balance between weight and rigidity, which are crucial for high-performance wings. At NSP, there is a continuous pursuit of developing lightweight, strong, and affordable materials. For instance, the use of composite rigid handles is a significant innovation, reducing overall wing weight while enhancing rigidity and control, leading to more responsive and manoeuvrable wings. Advancing fabrics such as Dacron and high quality sail cloth are favoured for their excellent strength to weight ratio, ensuring durability without adding unnecessary weight. Design approaches have become increasingly fluid and experimental, with developers exploring radical new shapes, innovative canopy panelling methods, and optimised support for the strut, as well as the leading and trailing edges resulting in enhancing aerodynamics and control. NSP are constantly looking to push the boundaries of what is possible in wing design and construction. This approach ensures that the latest wings not only perform exceptionally but are also accessible to a broader audience due to their affordability and longevity.

How have you implemented sustainability in your production and shipping processes?
We’ve implemented sustainability in our production processes by reusing cutoff materials from production as wrapping and packaging. This is just left overs or scrap from our own product, it’s everyone else’s as well! This helps reduce our reliance on single use plastics. These repurposed materials are used to make wrapping, packaging, hang tags and wing package ties from materials that would typically be discarded from production lines into landfill.
