The Air XTreme Powered Parachute Wing was born from the experience that Apco Aviation gained over the years in designing and manufacturing high performance Paragliders and Paramotoring Wings, as well as developing wings for Powered Parachuting. |
The Air XTreme 400 (released after the 500) differs from the 500 in that it has a higher speed, quicker response and generally a more sporty feel. It is intended for more experienced pilots. Even though it has a smaller area than the 500, the Maximum load rating remains the same. |
