XT 16 >> Cross Terrain
The Ultimate Cross Terrain Speed Flying wing. The XT 16 is soarable when normal paragliders can’t even be brought out of the bag, and is easy to launch and land in high wind or no wind.
- Ultra-long brake range
- Highly stall resistant
- Low Speed landings
- Gentle, coordinated handling
The XT is the answer…
Across a wide variety of sites and conditions, the XT excels. Based on over a decade of paraglider research and the recent developments in Speed Flying Wing Profiles, the XT is designed with a hybrid flat bottom profile for stability in active air, and full diagonals for a smooth and precise feel.
In addition to the airfoil shape, the low aspect ratio and thicker profile of the XT sets it apart from normal paragliders. These design attributes create a blend of higher stability and lower performance than a standard paraglider, which in turn makes the XT ideal for high wind soaring and for carving and swooping terrain on the way down the mountain.
The XT provides the missing link between paragliders and speed flying wings, and is for pilots who want to experience the option of flying in higher wind, or feeling a bit more airspeed on any descent flight. The XT also fits into a small backpack, making it easy to hike or travel with.
