PAPILLON BODYGUARD 7
SAFETY MEETS PERFORMANCE WITH CONSISTENCY
The BODYGUARD 7 combines sporty features with high passive safety. This makes it an ideal
beginner’s glider, which guarantees fun and fast learning success long after training.
The BODYGUARD 7 is easy to launch. It climbs evenly and without any tendency to dive for-
ward over the pilot and fills itself quickly and with little effort even in low wind.
Even in turbulent air the BODYGUARD 7 can hardly be put out of control. Even in weak ther-
mals, it climbs efficiently and its direct handling helps to center the thermals.
The Bodyguard 7 is a paraglider of the latest generation and is equipped with numerous tech-
nical features: PPN and 3D shaping ensure an optimized inflow and dimensional stability of the
leading edge. Complex calculations of the ballooning in combination with the optimized wing
pre-stressing ensure a balanced pressure distribution and flow around the profile. Mini-ribs
at the rear end of the wing give the profile more form fidelity and optimize the aerodynam
-
ics additionally, especially when braking. The High Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) ensures
optimized cross-ventilation of the cross ports and thus a balanced inside pressure of the wing,
which further enhances safety.
A straightforward line concept with just a few main lines ensures easy handling and a good
overview for ground handling. The risers are equipped with the Pilot Assistant (PAS) - colour
markings and icons provide a better orientation of the line levels. In addition, the main suspen-
sions are colour coded for better orientation.
