THRUST - APCO's purpose built, specialized wing for paramotor flying. It was launched for 2004/2005 season and already enjoys huge popularity thanks to a unique combination of parameters making it probably the best wing around for paramotoring as well for free flying. Fully certified by AFNOR/CEN to Standard class and approved for paramotoring and free flying.

THRUST's design is focused on:

  • Launch - spotless - no matter wind or no wind, cross or tail
  • Ground Handling - THRUST positions itself over head with no effort and just hovers there even in the slightest wind with no sign of collapse, waiting for the pilot to be ready to accelerate into the air
  • In the air the wing acceleration is smooth, and THRUST willingly responds to the engine's thrust
  • Handling - direct, precise and effortless
  • Flying - awesome
  • Safety - impeccable
  • Landing - piece of cake!
  • Riser - with accelerator and trim (for paramotor version), featuring 2 different levels of hook-in points enabling the THRUST to be fitted to any frame and capable of huge safe, speed range thanks to APCO's exclusive HIT valves (well over 50km/h)
  • Speed valves (APCO's exclusive HIT valves) are standard, as well as APCO original double coated siliconised cloth and heavy SuperAramid lines, backed up by our 3 Year/250 hour warranty

CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

Materials
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
