It has a solid leading edge, designed using hundreds of simulations with our Alula software and constructed with a smooth, clean finish thanks to our Cord Cut Billow panel shaping.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a heavy-duty wing with a big load-carrying ability, but it\u2019s no lumbering truck. We think all wings should have great handling, and the Cyclone is no exception. The brake-reefing system allows us to keep brake pressure light, so it\u2019s easy to have fun with and you don\u2019t need to be built like the Hulk to fly it.<\/p>\n<p>The new Roller-Cam trimmers on the Cyclone risers are smooth and easy to pull on and release, and are gentle on the webbing too. They simply glide on and off!<\/p>\n<p>The Cyclone is an efficient wing with a fast cruising speed. To avoid the profile deformation which could occur if steering with the brakes at trimmers-out high speeds, there is a tip-steering system operated by a separate handle on the riser, for steering while fast-cruising.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"informations_picture\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<div

Instead of designing and producing prototypes one by one, we can now accurately simulate hundreds of paragliders using our own unique structural\/aero simulation program. In effect we are now able to test virtual prototypes using this program, and on our paragliders we make over 200 virtual prototypes and analysing these involved in total 50 million iterations of the structural\/aero calculations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"Section5\" class=\"spt-trackThis\"><\/div>\n<section id=\"target\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-6\">\n<h2>Target<\/h2>\n<p>The ability to introduce others to the unique sensations and perspectives of flight is something all tandem pilots everywhere know and love.
