On the Flysurfer.com website specs for the Speeds:

"Change of the projected size when powering up - 21%"

What does this mean exactly?

as far as I know, just means the amount of additional canopy generating lift when you pull in the bar - or estimated effective size change of canopy when you pull in the bar.

Picture = 1K Words.

Adaptive Canopy Curve @ 0:30 is what they are referring to...
