FASTER, FURTHER, DISCOVER THE PIPER !
A versatile high performance wing targeting experienced PPG pilots
looking for speed, accuracy and efficiency while maintaining a high le-
vel of passive safety.
The PIPER is an amalgam of new technologies and ITV know-how. Its
light shark-nose and diagonal reinforcing ribs give it an excellent level of
resistance against collapse in turbulent air. The PIPER is a comfortable
feel good glider in all flying conditions.The use of different materials,
notably a lighter cloth on the intrados, enables the pilot to easily inflate
and handle the glider.
A perfectly smooth top surface, combined with our new FULL RE-
FLEX profile spanning over the entire length of the wing, provide the
PIPER with an excellent glide sustained in all usable air masses. The
PIPER’s assets are reflected in a significantly appreciated reduced fuel
consumption.
Its impressive speed range remains fully exploitable in all conditions
while featuring a constant valuable degree of passive safety. Its maxi-
mum air-speed will let pilots compete with and against the best wings
in classic competitions.
Constructive steps were taken to sustain the lifespan of this aircraft at its
utmost level, both in terms of flight behavior and structural resistance.
