The Synergy 4 was created as a great-performing glider that maximizes pilot safety. It's a trustworthy wing with an excellent gliding ratio, aimed at both cross country and intermediate pilots.
PRODUCT DETAILS
SOL spent 18 months in development, testing various prototypes before arriving at the design that they are now proud to call the Synergy 4 LTF 2 / EN C. The Synergy 4 surprises with the large real (6.31) and projected (4.40) A/R -- 11% higher than its predecessor. The curvature of the canopy turns the wing in a way that makes it an excellent climber (and very stable even when accelerated).
The Synergy 4's enhanced design and profile are the result of Sol's traditional technologies (FHT, LCT, HTM) paired with the new perception of tested and approved knowledge (DVT, SIS) of Sol's aerobatic and competition wings. The improved features of this project permit a large speed range and excellence at stability.
The Synergy 4 consists of 61 cells and has internal crossed diagonals applied at the profiles to distribute the weight uniformly. This maintains the canopy very shapely and clean and reduces the induced drag.
The Synergy 4 was designed at the computer. Its enhanced design and profile are the result of our continuous development and refinement process in terms of performance paired with stability. The improved features of this project permit a large speed range and excellence at stability.
Piloting and Behavior During Flight
Pilots that usually fly more basic gliders should easily adapt to the Synergy 4. They will notice a huge improvement on performance and should initially fly the wing in smooth conditions to get used to the added speed and agility. Intermediate pilots should immediately feel fat ease with the increased performance. More advanced pilots used to flying higher-spec wings will have more safety without feeling any loss of performance.

Specs
- High Project Aspect Ratio: 11% higher A/R than its predecessor : real (6.31), projected (4.40)
- Full Hybrid Technology: hybrid utilization of 3 types of fabric. A combination of durability and resistance with low deformation and less weight
- Laser Cut Technology: Molds and parts cut with laser equipment
- High-Tech Materials: highest technology materials guarantee durability - Diax Laminates, Inox Hardware, Polyester of High Tenacity and Vectran lines in top gallery and other parts result in a reduced drag of 22% compared to traditional lines with cover
- Double V-Tabs: system of internal double crossed V-Tabs in the centre of the wing generating a solid structure for best lift in flight
- Seamless Stabilo: The stabilo's leading edge has no junctures and is seamless.
Design & Construction
The layout is advanced using the latest design features. Compared to the previous-version "Synergy" the construction is more detailed with 58 cells and a longer projected span. These characteristics allow the full use of performance of the whole layout, without compromising the desired level of safety and handling in this project.
More efficient and accurate calculations were done to obtain a cleaner and smoother canopy. The diagonal construction in every cell reduces the quantity of lines, which helps to improve the precision of the whole wing. Synergy 4 was built with materials that allow Sol to offer a Warranty of 300 hours of flight or 3 years of use without losing the original characteristics of the equipment.
