R-Bus
The weight of a unique experience
The R-Bus has the capacity to carry loads up to 500 kg and it is eager to discover new areas and flying experiences. Totally tough: stability and comfort for both pilot and passenger.
Easy to control, even on the ground
Solid but agile, it inflates progressively and takes the load quickly and progressively. Efficiency is assured from the first to the last moment, resulting in take offs and landings that are simple, fast and accurate.
Niviuk DNA
Like all Niviuk wings, the R-Bus is characterised by performance, quality and great flight behaviour. A new wing concept full of advantages. A glider always prepared for new adventures.

TARGET & ADVANTAGES
Commercial and recreational flights
The R-Bus is designed for flights with a trike and to carry loads up to 500 kg, but also for lighter equipment and foot-launched PPG tandems. It was developed to become the perfect tool, whether for commercial or recreational flights.

Launch like never before
- The profile has excellent wing loading, for a perfect launch. This means that long distances, high speeds and high engine power are not required for take off. The R-Bus allows both pilot and passenger to quickly and easily take flight, even in less favourable conditions.
High stability
- Even with light loads.
- It is a highly robust, stable and durable wing. Its excellent wing loading and speed retention allow smooth and safe take offs and landings for both the pilot and the passenger.

A´ Assist System
- A perfectly controllable launch phase is made possible thanks to the A' Assist System, which allows the pilot to fix the A-risers to the trike to keep their hands free to comfortably handle the brake controls.
Very efficient glide
- Efficient glide means reduced fuel consumption and it gives the wing excellent energy retention and easy roundout for soft landings.
- In the case of engine failure, the sink rate is big bonus for safety (-2.5 m/s for a wing-loading of 420 kg).

Niviuk Technologies
Optimised internal structure
A reinforced internal structure, together with the new line plan, means that even the 500 kg load that the wing can carry is perfectly distributed and balanced.
High efficiency profile
Excellent top and cruising speed. With the new built-in Trim Adjustor, the pilot can accurately control both the direction and speed, regardless of wing-loading.
New line distribution
The design of the line distribution permits a uniform inflation and the wing rises quickly, accurately and without the tendency over-shoot.
Optimization of the leading edge
Due to their lightweight nature, the incorporation of Nitinol rods in the profile also reduces inertia and means a stiffer, crease-free leading edge to reduce parasitic drag.
