RAST IS AN ACRONYM FOR ...

This system originates from manned paraglider development and was developed and patented by the company SWING.

THE QUESTION IS NOT: WHY REST? THE QUESTION IS: WHY NO REST?

BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS RAST?

RAST® is a technical design element that makes paragliding more predictable by dividing the paraglider canopy into different pressure zones. The glider is more stable and easier to control, especially in turbulent conditions. RAST® mode of action:

Advantages of RAST TECHNOLOGY in a RC paraglider

• Very harmonious winding behavior!
• Comfortable and compact flight experience!
• Maximum control in challenging situations!
• Easy starting, especially in difficult conditions
• High cap stability
• Effectively counteracts large-scale rattling
• No complete emptying of the canopy in the event of a malfunction – thus less loss of altitude, faster reopening, less tendency to cramming and better control over the brake
• More performance in moving air through fewer canopy movements
• More control and instantaneous control in thermals
  

In the following we will explain why the RAST valve in our RC paragliders brings such a big advantage and why Rast makes absolute sense.

Practical explanation of the RAST valve technology in the RC paraglider by RICO PRIESNITZ, the owner and development engineer of Para Aviation RC, using a plastic model. A video says more than a thousand words. In the following video we explain how it works using a RAST model. The RC paraglider that can be seen in the video is one of our projects currently in development. The LIBRA 3.7 RAST with an aspect ratio of 7.3 and a wingspan of 5.23 meters. The LIBRA, a "two-line" RC paraglider prototype that we, like all our products, put through its paces under tough test conditions in South America and validate until it is ready for series production.
