The ultimate gateway wing, the JYRO Safire 3 is the most modern mainstream all-rounder canopy to hit the market. She’s not just different. She’s been engineered to fly better. More efficiently. More responsively. For the intermediate jumper she will make your flying experience come alive with quick turns and a powerful flare, but loaded lightly she is the vehicle to carry any beginner or the most nervous canopy pilot to the ground safely. Plus you’ll be looking sharp in the sky with this entrance level wing that has all the bells and whistles of an advanced sports canopy.
The JYRO (previously Icarus Canopies) Safire 3 takes everything that made the Safire 2 great, and advances it to a new level.
She’s the first beginner and intermediate wing that lets you take advantage of parametric design software and Computational Fluid Dynamics technologies used formerly only in high performance wings.
From her planform shape to her inlets, we pushed every aspect of what’s possible with the Safire 3 to new heights. No detail was too small.
Every element, from the nose design to the crossports to the brake configuration has been designed to enhance each other for maximum efficiency and responsiveness – a perfect example of the magic that happens when you combine five years of research and development with state of the art techniques and design tools.
Who should fly her?
Safire pilots will find her completely familiar, but entirely revolutionary. The JYRO (previously Icarus Canopies) Safire 3 is perfect for your first canopy, or a fun intermediate canopy at slightly higher wingloadings. We recommend loading her between 0.8 and 1.5. She’s available in any size you want between 99 and 229, so you can load her exactly how you want. If you’re not sure, ask us.
What can you expect when you fly the Safire 3?
She has all the things you love about the Safire 2 – great openings, safe predictable flight, a short recovery arc and a smooth flare – and everything else you asked us for.
You wanted the same consistent openings. We made them smoother and more progressive. You wanted to have more range. We made the JYRO Safire 3 more efficient and gave you the glide to get back from that long spot. You wanted more fun. We made all her inputs more responsive. You wanted even more flare. We found a balance of more power, without inducing an early stall.
Openings
The Safire 2 was known for her sweet, soft openings. Our goal was to improve the consistency of the heading performance, so the Safire 3 has a shorter opening process, but one that is more progressive. The result is confidence inspiring smooth openings, with even more predictability than before.
Toggles
The JYRO Safire 3 is more responsive to toggle input, and gives you more control. She gives more feedback throughout turns and you’ll notice a better ‘feel’ and connection to the canopy.
Harness
Harness inputs cause the least distortion to the canopy and in comparison to other inputs, are much smoother – achieving more efficient harness flight for the Safire 3 has been a focus on this project. She responds better to harness inputs than her predecessor, making her a joy to fly around simply by weight shifting.
Front Riser Flight
Front riser pressure on the Safire 3 is comparable to the Safire 2, if not a little lighter.
Rear Riser Flight
Thanks to the Safire 3’s improved planform shaping she has a great glide on rears, so you don’t have to stress too much about your long spot! The rears are easy to manage and only a small input is needed to see results. If you still don’t make it back, talk to the fucking pilot.
Performance
The Safire 3 isn’t more ‘high performance’ than the Safire 2 in terms of the class of wing she belongs to, but she performs to a higher standard due to being a more efficient design. You’ll see the extra performance in her improved openings, responsiveness and flare.
Recovery and Flare
Her quick recovery arc has got your back and her powerful flare will give you the confidence to be able to stick those tricky landings.
PACK VOLUME
This data has been gathered from the field and is a guide only. Packing technique, age of the canopy and container all have a part to play in whether a canopy will fit in your rig.
