The APCO Thrust remains a prominent fixture in our lineup, renowned for its enduring presence. Designed for both beginner and intermediate pilots, the Thrust is a classic (non-reflex) wing that emphasizes simplicity, safety, and straightforward progression. Its universal appeal has allowed it to withstand the test of time, making it a constant favorite throughout the evolution of paramotor wings.
The Thrust V extends the Thrust legacy, presenting a completely new wing that’s been revamped with the latest technological advancements for an unparalleled flying experience.
- FAR® – Flow Aligned Ribs: The Thrust V introduces this cutting-edge feature, marking a significant advancement in rib positioning technology. This innovative design ensures that the wingtips generate more lift, significantly enhancing the wing’s performance, safety, and stability.
- APP® – Shark Nose Profile: Employs a shark nose profile to achieve higher maximum speeds while maintaining a stable internal pressure. This results in a more rigid canopy, offering an added layer of confidence to novice pilots.
- Butt Holes 2: As indicated by the name, these strategically placed holes facilitate the easy release of sand or debris from inside the canopy, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Launch – SRS® Risers: These risers aid in the launching process, enabling the wing to rise overhead quickly and smoothly, without overshooting. This innovation makes the forward launch process intuitive for pilots of all skill levels.
- Risers: The risers have been completely redesigned and simplified, offering two distinct attachment point options to accommodate any combination of harness and motor, enhancing compatibility and flexibility for pilots.
Taking Off and Landing with the Thrust V is as straightforward as possible. Unlike reflex profiles, the Thrust boasts a high-lift, classic profile, enabling takeoff and landing at the lowest feasible speeds. The risers are designed to be clutter-free and simple, making this wing an ideal choice for training environments. Its simplicity and quick airborne capability make it unmatched for ease of use.
The Thrust V’s handling has been reconfigured to be more agile and responsive, requiring less brake pressure for maneuvers. Innovations such as the FAR® technology and Shark Nose design have been instrumental in refining the Thrust V for sharper handling without compromising other performance aspects.
In terms of speed, the Thrust V reaches new heights with a maximum speed of over 55 km/h, making it exceptionally fast for its class. This increase in speed is made possible by the APP® shark nose profile, which allows for higher speeds without sacrificing safety.
The construction of the Thrust V is built to last. Utilizing APCO’s legendary double siliconized cloth alongside lighter materials ensures prolonged enjoyment beyond what other wings can offer. The lines are all sheathed, offering maximum protection under all conditions.
For paragliding enthusiasts, the Thrust V can seamlessly transition into a well-rounded paragliding wing with the trimmers closed, accommodating both disciplines.
Paragliding schools seeking a non-reflex wing for their students will find the Thrust V to be an exemplary choice, simplifying both the pilot’s experience and the instructional process.
