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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/bgd-typhoon-flybubble-shop-11.png?v=1788534066\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"119\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBruce's notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBGD Parasim\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChord cut billow (CCB)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChord Cut Billow technology has been developed to improve the form friction, glider stability and overall performance of BGD paragliders. Two seams run chord-wise across the top panels of the leading edge. They accommodate the panel ballooning that happens when the wing is inflated. Without CCB, up to five centimeters of excess material is created on the sides of an inflated flat panel when it bends over a wing profile. This results in wrinkles. Chord Cut Billow technology removes this excess material and the 3D panel has fewer ripples and improved rib profile shape and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProgressive stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing ALULA, BGD gliders are designed to have a stable and solid center with progressively softer tips.

A small focused magnet inside the catch and an internal locking system hold the handle in place, releasing only if the handles are pulled down towards the pilot.

The Snap Lock system solves many of the problems associated with press studs and magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh or low hangpoint ready\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTip Steering Toggles (TST)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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, converting them for 2D steering. This allows more precise control of the wing, but is an advanced technique so BGD has made it optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTop surface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorcher Skytex 27 Classic II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBottom surface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMJ Tex 32mg\/²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInternal structure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorcher Skytex Hard 40g\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNose reinforcing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerlon 2mm \/ Fishing line 1.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRisers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm Kevlar\/Nylon webbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTop lines\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiros DSL 70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMiddle lines\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiros TSL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLower lines\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiros TSL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrakes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiros DSL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paramotor.flybgd.com\/read.php?type=fichier\u0026amp;id=395\u0026amp;lang=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eManual V5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paramotor.flybgd.com\/read.php?type=fichier\u0026amp;id=392\u0026amp;lang=fr\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLine layout\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bruce Goldsmith Design","offers":[{"title":"20 \/ Mars","offer_id":57969462280574,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-20-MARS","price":2640.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Neptune","offer_id":57969462313342,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-20-NEPTU","price":2640.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"23 \/ Mars","offer_id":57969462346110,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-23-MARS","price":2640.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"23 \/ Neptune","offer_id":57969462378878,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-23-NEPTU","price":2640.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"26 \/ Mars","offer_id":57969462411646,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-26-MARS","price":2741.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"26 \/ Neptune","offer_id":57969462444414,"sku":"BGD-TYPHOON-26-NEPTU","price":2741.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/bgd-typhoon-flybubble-shop-6.jpg?v=1788534036","url":"https:\/\/flybubble.com\/products\/bgd-typhoon","provider":"Flybubble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
