JVX

.

The JVX is a 27-cell elliptical cross braced Tri-cell with upgrades like a new nose modification, improved trim, longer lines, no stabilizers and HMA lines as standard. The JVX is slim, sleek and fast. First off, the JVX has no stabilizers. Stabilizers on small HP canopies don't do much except flap in the wind causing added parasitic drag. The Daedalus Project first dealt with the issue of reducing drag on the wing tips by developing ram-air stabilizers. We quickly found that no stabilizers is even better! The JVX is still available with a low profile "mini" stabilizer as an option.
The JVX opens much better than the Icarus VX and most other canopies in it's class! High performance canopies will always have high performance openings but here at Daedalus canopies we have addressed this issue for our new "Ultra" class wings. Unlike the original JVX that used a specially designed slider our latest version uses a standard slider size of 29 X 24 inches with a new upper brake line configuration!
The JVX also incorporates a new trim which is a serious upgrade from the VX. The JVX is the first competition swoop canopy designed for rear riser flight!
The JVX comes with one Technora lineset (400lbs-600lbs). The JVX from Daedalus canopies is a special order item with custom options not found anywhere else in the industry. With a removable system for your bag, pilot chute and slider. Many competition pilots don't see the need for an attachment point and prefer to have a smooth, obstacle free top skin surface.
If you have the necessary skill and get the opportunity to try one for yourself we challenge you to "experience the difference" and join the swoop revolution...
