GNUA13 is a mini paraglider "speedglider" with 25 cells and 13 m2 of flat surface.

This prototype was built in June 2019 by Oleg Egorov in Minsk, Belarus.
The design is based on the original French prototype GNUA13.
 
Technical data:

Cells number =  25
Flat area =  12.88 m2
Flat span =   7.00 m
Flat A/R =  3.81
Projected area =  11.34 m2
Projected span =   5.96 m
Projected A/R =  3.13
Flattening =    .12
Airfoil = gnuA
Wingtip airfoil= gnuat
True three rows design (A,B,C)
Lines design = A-2-6, B-3-9, C-2-6
Total line lenght = 127.5 m
This glider uses full continuous v-ribs (type 5)

Some pictures of the construction:

1. Sewing the wing	2. Sail completed
3. 2019-07-19 First test in a small hill, wind 5-7 m/s	4. 2019-07-19 First test in a small hill

First sensations: "Everything is fine with the wing, the place is too small for a good test.
At the top of the mountain, the wind was good, in the middle of the mountain was virtually absent. This is a feature of this small hill.
The wing itself is very fast, it requires an instant reaction, but the simplicity of its control allows it to be quickly stabilized.
Wing on the first test, I really enjoyed it!"
