AirDesign developed it around the repetitive demands that matter to commercial and instructional tandem pilots: inflation, early lift, manageable brake pressure, usable trim range, flare authority and durability across a wide passenger-weight range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCloudbase perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor tandem work, the useful question is how a wing behaves over an entire operating day, not how impressive one isolated specification looks. The RIDE 4’s two sizes cover overlapping but different all-up-weight ranges, so choosing between the 40 and 43 should reflect your typical pilot\/passenger combination and operating conditions. Cloudbase can help work through that loading rather than defaulting to the largest size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Design Concepts - RIDE 4\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Line Concept (SLC):\u003c\/strong\u003e reduced line length for quicker inflation, handling response and flare timing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew arc:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to improve turn initiation and structural cohesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-line concept:\u003c\/strong\u003e supports the profile and broad usable speed range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInboard winglets:\u003c\/strong\u003e intended to improve roll behaviour and spiral recovery characteristics while retaining dynamic handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e coated cloth, nose protection, Nitinol rods, sheathed lines and an internal structure designed for repeated use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM \/ 40\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL \/ 43\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArea flat (m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42.55\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArea projected (m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpan flat (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.63\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.05\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpan projected (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.515\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAspect ratio flat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAspect ratio projected\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.77\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.77\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCells\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChord length (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.52\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTake-off weight (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110–220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120–235\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEN category\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake-off weight is total flight mass including pilot, passenger, glider, harnesses, reserve and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dominico Dokdo-30 DMF 43 g\/m² top; Dominico N20 DMF \/ 2044 32 PS 32 g\/m² bottom; Dominico 30 DFM \/ 2044 32 FM 32 g\/m² ribs, V-ribs and straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liros DSL \/ PPSL upper lines, Liros PPSL middle lines, Edelrid 2 7343 mains. \u003cstrong\u003eRisers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 mm \/ 12 mm Cousin Trestec Aramid PES.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVORTEX HOLES · SHARK NOSE · JONCS NITINOL · 3D-CUT · RAZOR EDGE · WINGLET TECHNOLOGY · SLC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlider with option of hard or soft spreaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirPack L concertina bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 spare AR3 big-ear lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement trimmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepair materials and AirDesign stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirDesign goodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRucksack is not included as standard.
