We introduce our latest creation, the Royal Vessel in
our brand for the new season. The Zenith is a
Sport intermediate wing rated EN C for the ambitious XC pilots searching for
glide and speed without compromising safety.
It replaces the
Tecno but maintains the
same famous handling and stability in accelerated flight meanwhile the glide and
speed is simple amazing for its class.
We firmly believe this is the most cutting edge cross country Sport wing
in the market many pilots will be attracted to fly it in spite of the high
performance of this wing. You will find a lot of confidence due to the massive
passive safety and extra comfort in flight.
Many new features are reveled here: 3 risers, a record low line length, a high arch giving more pressure and tuck resistance, trapezoidal
leading edge entries and AR of 6 with a new profile to enhance an accurate
handling to get the most out of weak days and poor thermals.

The new high\intermediate paraglider from Windtech is a revolutionary
wing aiming for the best performance for the recreational pilots, and pilots
seeking an easy fun and solid design without compromising safety.
This is the first Sport wing certified in a lower EN B category and the
result of extensive design and research work, and three years of testing
and development of prototypes. The Zenith has the speed, agility and
stability like no other wing in the market. The safety in
the air is simply amazing and the capacity of lift in weak and broken
thermals incomparable. The maximum glide is by far the best in the Sport
category and it can compete with Open Class wing in certain conditions.
The new Zenith tension cut and the stiffness of its unique profile make
it possible to use the full potential of its flat polar curve and high
speed during any XC flight.
The Zenith is a
Sport intermediate wing rated EN B for the ambitious XC pilots searching

We firmly believe this is the most cutting edge cross country
Sport wing in the market, many pilots will be attracted to fly it in
spite of the high performance of this wing. You will find a lot of

Many new features are reveled here: 3 risers, a record in line
consumption, a high arch giving more pressure and tuck resistance,
trapezoidal leading edge entries and AR of 6 with a new profile to
enhance an accurate handling to get the most out of weak days and poor
thermals.
Three risers with a high vault and a minimum line consumption, only 277m
in the M size. The projected surface does excel in thermal flying and
poor lift.
New tension cut that enhances the pressure in the leading edge and
trailing edge. This does improve the general balance and turn radius.
Now only little brake input is necessary to have a great handling.
Cell width reduces across the span, towards the tips. There are two
kinds of diagonal ribs, depending on the thickness and width of the
cell. No external seams on either top or bottom surface. No intermediate
cells.
Minimum canopy weight. a little more of 6Kg. in the M size. Extensive
R&D has been applied here to save every gram. Minimum double leading
edge reinforcements and a new profile air flow hole system to save
fabric in the internal structure. Result is a light inflation in any
wind condition.
Line set is made from highly durable sheathed Aramid lowers and UV
treated unsheathed mids and uppers.
Low drag risers. 3 ultra slim 10mm risers with swivels and
reinforcements in the harness connection for minimum wear
Certified EN B
in sizes S, S/M and M/L with the standard production speed
system
