In an emergency situation near the ground, the rapid inflation of the canopy will help you get out of trouble. At higher altitudes, the steerability will.

This results on the one hand in a higher aspect ratio compared to conventional cruciform canopies, those propulsion mainly takes place towards one side, and on the other hand in the asymmetrical air flow of the convex sides of the TARGETcross canopy, thereby receiving an ascending forced optimised profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe horizontal movement, which is typical for every modern round canopy and cruciform canopy, can be steered for the TARGETcross ST \u003cstrong\u003ein a certain direction, if required\u003c\/strong\u003e. Obstacles like e.g. power lines can thus be avoided and an emergency landing field can be precisely approached with a glide ratio of ca. 1:1.5. \u003cstrong\u003eThere are no disadvantages for the TARGETcross ST compared with conventional cruciform canopies.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe TARGETcross has different line lengths which has the effect that the strips of the canopy don't lie on top of each other when packing the canopy. This diversification causes an easier air inlet when opening and thus an \u003cstrong\u003eincreased opening speed\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to conventional cruciform canopies. The packing of the TARGETcross is \u003cstrong\u003enot more time-consuming or more complex than for a normal cruciform canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe superlight TARGETcross ST thus combines the low packing effort of round- and cruciform canopies with the controllability of Rogallo rescue systems. For the TARGETcross, there is no risk of a “down plane” immediately after release, that is typical for Rogallo rescue systems even after pre-braking if they open with the top downwards.\u003cbr\u003eThe concept of the TARGETcross works without pre-braking and therefore the system remains very easy to handle and is reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther safety aspects:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are no potential hazards in consequence of the steerability: The twisting of the lines, which often is unavoidable when using a controllable rescue system, doesn't cause any special risks. The TARGETcross ST can also be controlled in twisted condition. The red colour marking on the front head indicates clearly visible the flight direction for the pilot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo risks can arise by excessive pulling or by non-use of the brake handles. There is no risk of stall. A pulling of the brakes is not required when landing, as the canopy already is trimmed at minimum sink rate. The forward speed also reduces significantly the risk of spine compression during the landing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe long suspension lines of the TARGETcross and the symmetric shape of the canopy lower the risk of causing a collapse with the rescue system and the glider.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward movement and low sink rate reduce in addition the risk of a side slip between the rescue system and the glider, and therefore higher sink rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA short stall phase of the TARGETcross after opening prevents the formation of a \"downplane\"-position. The TARGETcross merges without the help of the pilot after a short independent stall phase in an easy, very stable and swing-free forward flight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe special design of the inner container, optimized with the help of Tom Grabner's G-Force trainer ensures a safe deployment of the TARGETcross with low effort needed. Especially with regard to inconvenient pulling directions when deploying the rescue system. Therefore we absolutely recommend to use the original approved container with the rescue system and to adapt the rescue handle of the harness to the container by an authorised service company.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe inner container has a separate space for the suspension lines. The canopy will only be deployed after aspect ratio of the suspension lines, which enables a fast and controlled opening. The risk of a cravat of rescue system and glider is therefore reduced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe superlight cruciform canopy from Charly's product designer Tom Grabner has been registered for patent and certified in four sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/Charly-TARGETCROSS-ST-LIGHT-flybubble-shop-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I have to disconnect my glider when opening the TARGETcross?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Although if the pilot reacts in a passive way, the TARGETcross works perfectly. The risk of a side slip is very low for a TARGETcross. Nevertheless, the glider should be disconnected – if possible – from all rescue systems, no matter whether they are steerable or not. The disconnection can be made by separating the glider from the carabiner, as in this case, an automatic separation system for the speed system is absolutely essential. Further opportunities are rapid separation carabiners or cutting off the main lines by means of a jack knife.\u003cbr\u003eWith the Finsterwalder Quick-Out carabiners, the disconnection is very simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can't make general statements about how the glider reacts after rescue deployment and every rescue system is always influenced by the residual resistance of the glider, a complete disconnection of the glider can only be an advantage – also if a disconnection is not absolutely necessary for the TARGETcross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finsterwalder-charly.de\/images\/stories\/startseite\/downloads\/targetcross\/charly-targetcross-info-brochure_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBrochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finsterwalder-charly.de\/images\/stories\/startseite\/downloads\/targetcross\/charly-targetcross-manual_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eManual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Charly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57656351261054,"sku":"CHRLY-TARGETCROSSSTLIGH-24100700","price":759.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/CHRLY-TARGETCROSSSTLIGH-24100700-01.jpg?v=1783441103","url":"https:\/\/flybubble.com\/products\/charly-targetcross-st-light-size-160-24100700","provider":"Flybubble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
