What happened to Z-bracing?
Can't Post
I remember several years ago when the talk was that Z-bracing would be the next evolution in HP canopies. Now, with Petra and the PD peregrine seeming to be the next generation in that category, what happened to Z-bracing?

Think about it, make a drawing if necessary... what could be the "problem" with that very design? what is it "lacking"? especially if it comes to the central 3 out of 5 given cells between linegroups?

I'm not an engineer or even close to one, but I would imagine it would put a lot of force on the non-loaded ribs. Does it create a problem of putting more pressure on the center chambers than they can handle and they blow apart?
