Descrizione

The TYPHOON is an intermediate PPG wing, for pilots who are looking for accessible performance and a stable yet sporty ride. Its light sail makes for a very easy launch, especially in light-wind conditions, and it’s the perfect, go-anywhere adventure wing. An all-rounder it’s the perfect partner for cross-country exploration, dynamic carving, and weekend cruising – all wrapped with BGD’s signature handling and style.

The TYPHOON is a little bit sportier and a little bit faster than the BLIZZARD, and will be the choice of pilots with wide-ranging experience. Choose to fly a bit lower in the weight range for slightly more chilled reactions if you’re lighter on experience.

Caratteristiche Particolari

BGD Parasim

The future of glider design depends largely on simulations. Instead of designing and producing prototypes one by one, our unique in-house structural / aero simulation program, BGD Parasim, enables us to accurately simulate hundreds of virtual prototypes. We test over 200 virtual prototypes for each paraglider, using 50 million iterations of the structural / aero calculations.

Tip-Steering Toggles (TST)

The tip-steering toggles allow for simple and efficient directional control without using the brakes when flying accelerated. The tip-steering and brake handles are separate, but there is an attachment loop on the brake handle to attach the tip-steering lines to convert to 2D steering. This allows more precise control of the wing, but is an more advanced technique.

Easy reflex profile

The TYPHOON features a reflex profile that improves stability at speed

Cord Cut Billow

La tecnologia Cord Cut Billow è stata sviluppata per ridurre la resistenza di forma, la stabilità e le prestazioni generali delle nostre vele. La tecnologia Cord Cut Billow è composta da due cucitura poste sui panelli dell'estradosso vicino al bordo di attacco, in direzione della corda alare. Questa cucitura permette al cassone di assumere la sua forma tonda naturale quando la vele viene gonfiata. Fino a 5cm di materiale in eccesso viene aggiunto ai lati di un panello nel suo stato gonfio e collocato sul profilo ricurvo di una vela gonfia riducendo così le grinze. Ridurre le grinze aiuta anche a mantenere il profilo delle intercentine, migliorandone così la stabilità.

Stabilità Progressiva

Utilizzando il nostro programma di simulazione Parasim, le vele BGD sono progettate per avere un centro stabile e solido con estremità alari progressivamente più morbide. Questo aiuta i piloti ad anticipare e prevenire le chiusure, mantenendo una maggiore consapevolezza delle condizioni dell’aria.

High or low hangpoint ready

In order to maximise versatility this wing caters to both low and high hangpoint paramotors. Brake pulley loops, tip-steering pulleys and snap locks are fitted for both positions, making the switch quick and easy.

Roller Cam Trimmers

The trimmers have new roller-cams which are slip-free, easy and smooth to operate while reducing wear on the webbing.

Snap locks

Gli snap locks sono attacchi leggeri e compatti che connettono facilmente i freni agli elevatori. Una piccola calamita e un sistema interno di bloccaggio mantengono la maniglia al suo posto, rilasciandola soltanto quando vengono tirati in basso verso il pilota. Questa particolare caratteristica di progettazione garantisce che le maniglie non cadano mentre si fanno gonfiaggi, mentre si ripiega la vela, o durante alcune manovre. Il sistema Snap Lock risolve molti dei problemi associati ai bottoni e alle calamite.

Le Note di Bruce

The TYPHOON is easy to launch and forgiving to fly, but still wakes up your senses in the sky. The aspect ratio of 5.14 adds a touch of glide and precision, while the updated reflex profile keeps it rock-solid at speed. The trimmers have a 12cm range, with smooth brass roller-cams for durability and ease of use, and a speedbar system adds another 12cm of acceleration. Tip-steering toggles come as standard, and the risers are versatile with both high and low hangpoints. Launching is super clean and intuitive thanks to the solid nose and optimised line layout. Whether you're cruising cross-country or carving around clouds, the Typhoon turns every flight into a joyride.

Obbiettivo

Ready to ride out the calm and kick up some fun? The TYPHOON is a reflex progression wing for paramotor pilots who want to push further, fly faster, and add a little extra spice to their sky-time. With a 5.14 aspect ratio and three sizes (20, 23, 26), it’s designed for stable performance with a playful edge. The launch is a breeze. An easy inflation then it stabilises overhead and hangs out there happily till you’re ready to roll. The handling is crisp, and it’s trimmed for high energy while keeping that BGD ease and confidence. If you're ready to stir up some air and keep climbing the skill ladder, it’s the perfect storm for intermediate pilots looking to level up.
