That's why we use a mix of three different cloth for the XENON.
But it should also fly as well as possible - and ideally for as long as possible. Of course, a wing for the Bull X-Alps should be as light as possible. The additional cost of using Nitinol for paraglider instead of the standard plastic rods varies based on the amount of material used and the added cost will be between 200€ to 400€ based on the length and diameter of the Nitinol rods. The transformation temperatures in Nitinol are altered by the ratio of nickel and titanium used that way Nitinol can reshape and bend predictably. So when we try to deform it bounces right back. If the alloy is created to have a low transformation temperature, below room temperature then it's already in that phase of its final shape. There is more to Nitinol than just the shape memory effect. What makes it such a cool material for paragliding wings? Nitinol has exceptionally high elasticity at low transformation temperature and this is what makes it so appealing as a replacement for the plastic rods used inside the glider. Nitinol is the shape memory alloy used in high-end paragliders, F14 fighter jet, Mars Rower and many more cool gadgets.
