The Cargo is a revolution in the world of modern tandem paragliders.
Designed for the most demanding professional tandem paraglider pilot, it is
available in 3 sizes and its remarkable combination of outstanding ease of use,
solid construction and great durability is without equal.
Even in nil wind the Cargo inflates faultlessly and evenly and, due to
its exceptional performance, lifts off with only a few steps. With wind it
behaves in an exemplary manner, always remaining easy to control. In flight the
wing is pitch and roll stable, making it less work to fly. Maneuverability is
what pilots have come to expect from Windtech’s trademark handling, dynamic and
precise - simply the best there is.
Equipped with the S.A.S, a unique double-leading-edge design invented by
Windtech, this not only improves safety and performance at high speeds but also
guarantees excellent launch inflations for years to come since the cell openings
have less mechanical tension, being therefore less stressed, and the load is
better distributed. The floating reinforcements give a better profile
definition, improving airflow over the wing; they also create extra, smoother
internal pressure inside the wing.
The Cargo is made of Porcher Marine Skytex 45 Evolution. This is the best
choice for a clean, wrinkle free, surface and will ensure it will last for
hundreds of hours.

New aerodynamic profile, designed
exclusively for the Cargo. It is very pitch stable therefore we
guarantee progressive launch inflation and excellent energy conversion
for landings. The Cargo’s profile is rock-solid, even in turbulence. The
brakes are light for a tandem paraglider, even when highly loaded. Sink
rate is top-notch; as a result we can fly with a high wing loading and
choose between the 3 available sizes of Cargo. We have improved
all-round performance and glide for thermalling and cross country
flights. All seams are internal for a clean finish, and high
performance. |
| The S.A.S. leading edge makes it possible to
extend the trim travel without compromising safety, achieving high
transition speeds with top glide performance. The Cargo is the fastest
tandem paraglider currently on the market. With the trimmers closed the
turn radius is reduced and brake pressure gets even lighter, making
working thermals not in the least bit physical. New EN certification for
sizes 39 and 43. Version CARGO-LITE made from Skytex 27 giving a total
weight of 5 kg; Ideal for the Para-alpinist and high altitude
expeditions. Paramotor version available for all 3 sizes of Cargo. |
