michelemu Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What are the geometric characteristics that make the Dudek Report'air "almost inert" to the wind? Perfect as a work wing. Are there other manufacturers that have cloned it? MacPara, SkyMax, Apco ... Thanks, and sorry if the question had already been asked. Thank you.

Hann__ Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 It`s an interesting question and one i`ve wondered about - whether manufacturers are `influenced` or just buy an example of, and then blatantly copy other makers designs.

Copying most certainly. they have come on a long way ,but there are limits , safety is most important, or should be. just met thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelemu Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Good morning, mine didn't want to be a controversy about anything. I imagine that the manufacturers are all focused on improving their products, in terms of performance and safety. However, I am also aware of the different technological and research means of the different construction companies, so it seems almost normal that the design of a particularly functional sail of a manufacturer X, this year, can be taken as an example by some other manufacturer for his atelier for next year. For this reason, I asked if anyone had noticed the characteristics of the Dudek ReportAir, using sails from other manufacturers. Thank you.
