Ozone Fusion Wing 2024 - Multiple Sizes

by: Ozone

Five years ago, the FUSION project was launched with the goal of combining manufacturing expertise with knowledge of foil kite, inflatable kite, paraglider, and wingsuit design. Utilizing all the resources of their in-house production facility, their designers collaborated closely with the most experienced technicians and material handlers to elevate aerodynamic performance to new heights.

The new FUSION freeride wing marks a paradigm shift in performance, tailored to riders seeking higher speeds, dynamic jump and flight potential, along with previously impossible angles up and downwind.

The efforts for this project centered around optimal aerofoil design, leading to the efficient, but difficult to achieve, double surface design. Overcoming both the structural challenges and manufacturing intricacies was a primary task. Through innovative construction techniques and the principles integral to wingsuits, they have achieved a design that presents the wing and kite sector with a revolutionary perspective.

The Fusion wing is designed around the high-performance planform of the Flux, including the pre-loaded leading edge made with stiff performance dacron. The 100% double surface ram air design creates an enclosed high-pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials.

The big advantage of the double surface design is a dramatic reduction in drag. The Fusion wing opens up possibilities for wingfoiling, allowing control over every part of the game. It can be enjoyed on an intermediate, mid-size front foil wing, but the Fusion's real potential is unlocked with smaller, faster foils, granting supercharged handling and extreme airspeed capabilities.

The superior efficiency of the double surface design, along with all the features on the Fusion wing, elevates every element of the riding experience. It provides an engaged flying feel and unmatched racing performance, allowing for remarkable elevation and airtime. The stiff airframe and pressurized sail give a smooth ride, while the super smooth power management becomes more potent as speed increases.

The high-aspect-ratio design with a swept leading edge planform, reduced drag, pre-loaded leading edge, and optimized sail shaping contribute to the incredible performance of the Fusion wing. Ergonomically angled, rigid carbon handles with EVA grip, along with added features like a soft bumper and knuckle-guard, enhance the overall experience.

The Fusion Wing is designed to be used with higher performance foils, such as the MA800 or other race foils, to fully unlock its potential. The wing's design and construction make it suitable for riders who are proficient in tacking, gybing, and performing airs confidently.

In summary, the Fusion project successfully combines manufacturing expertise and design knowledge to create a revolutionary wing that offers increased speed, dynamic capabilities, and unmatched performance. The 100% double surface design reduces drag and elevates every aspect of the riding experience. With a focus on optimal aerofoil design and innovative construction techniques, the Fusion wing opens up new possibilities and a new realm of wingfoiling.

 

Ozone V1 Fusion Wing Foiling Wing

Leave it to Ozone to go outside the box of what is the norm and create a Wing that is like no other Wing on the market today. The V1 Fusion wing designed around the high-performance platform of the Flux, including the pre-loaded leading edge, which is made with stiff performance Dacron. The V1 Fusion is a 100% double surface ram air design creating an enclosed high-pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials when the wing’s angle-of-attack changes.

REDUCING DRAG
When the air travels over a wing it splits at the stagnation point on the leading edge. While the air that runs along the top surface has a clean and continuous surface to follow, the airflow on the bottom of a single surface wing creates vortices behind the leading edge. This turbulent underside flow creates drag which reduces performance.

WHO IS IT FOR?
The Fusion Wing is for those who are ready to experience a new realm of winging where previously unreachable performance is now achievable. It is suitable for experienced intermediate riders and beyond who are proficient at tacking and gybing, sending and landing airs confidently and who have reached a level where they don’t regularly have major, out of control wipeouts.

Features

  • Air Intake Valves - Inspired from wingsuits, they allow air to enter into the internals. They have been specifically designed to keep water out by using a valve system.
  • Water Drainage Holes In the rare event water does come inside the wing, there are four drainage holes on the trailing edge, two near the strut and two more on the tips.
  • Streamlined Tip Junction To maintain smooth aerodynamics where multiple sections are joined at the Fusion tips, the last upper and lower surface panels are split to connect to the highest and lowest point of the leading-edge tube. A closing panel is added to the split trailing edge in order to maintain even pressure inside the internals.
  • Lower Surface Zipper To minimize weight, the Fusion has only one zip on the lower surface that allows access to the inflate/deflate valves on the leading edge and strut. It also allows access in order to replace a bladder with no added difficulty compared to a single surface wing.
  • Pre-Loaded Leading Edge - Using a performance Dacron material that is rigid and strong has allowed Ozone's designers to pre-load the leading edge and shape it to experience drastically less deformation under load. Combined with optimized sail shaping and horizontal panels for a tighter canopy, the Flux delivers huge aerodynamic performance gains.
  • Rigid Power Handles Ergonomically angled front and back carbon fiber handles with EVA grip provide maximum control and comfort with incredible feel and response. The front handle mount features a soft bumper to protect your head and board during water starts.
