The high end full reflex wing to complete our paramotor wing range- this is the FORCE

FORCE was conceived as a direct result of pilot demand and with the added value of classic APCO virtues has exeeded all expectations. The result was the Perfect Match for your paramotor , with Spotless launch / Flare, sweet handling and light brake pressure.

FORCE designed as a high performance, maximum speed range glider, capable of competing with latest generation of reflex wings. The design brief for FORCE is based on the concept of combining all the best aspects of reflex wings with performance, handling and launch characteristics of APCO wings - perfectly blended into a well built, robust chute, made to last.

We again turned to use of SRS® (automatic stall recovery system - Pat. Pend.) to allow for comfortable take-off and landing speed. HIT® valves were incorporated to ensure maximum stability and internal wing pressure at any angle of attack. Built in FLEXON® to replace Mylar for long term consistent performance and lighter weight.

We are proud to be the first and original inventors of all the above, unique features - today gradually becoming an integral part of other brands design too.

Available in 3 sizes - FORCE S, M and L - covering weight range from 75kg.-185kg.

CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
