Ever since the Trango series was first
introduced a decade ago the gliders in the
family have been defining the Serial Class.
Trango’s have always been known for
uncompromising performance coupled
with very easy extreme flight behaviour.
The Trango XC is no exception, mastering
as it does the balancing act between
performance and safety in the perfect way.
As is the case for all UP wings the
performance is monitored all the way
through the design process. Our R&D
people use the combination of two
software packages, the „LT-Parafoil“ and
„Paralabs“ to check every new innovation
for performance benefits before it is
released to to be incorporated in real-life
designs.

The UP innovation known under the name
ASS has been adopted by many other
manufacturers. In the Trango XC it has
been refined even further.
A thin, felxible Nylon batten renders the
use of LE supporting Mylar completely
unnecesarry, thereby increasing both
longevity and user-friendlyness of the
wing. The batten has no known
maximum service life and we fully
expect it to be as good as new when
the rest of the wing is ready for
recycling. It ensures perfect
launching/inflation characteristics
every time, both now and in as many
years as you care to stick with your
new Trango XC. Should an ASS
batten become damaged they are
easy to replace. A small pocket
towards the end of the in-sewn
channel allows any user to remove
damaged battens in mere seconds,
and a new one can be inserted just as
easily. (see the chapter „changing the
ASS battens“).

The UP Trango XC is constructed from
polyamide cloth, which is particularly
stretch-resistant and durable, and is
specially treated for maximum UV
resistance.
After an extensive series of tests and
years of practical experience we have
found that the best material is a high
tenacity polyamide “New Sky-Tex”,
from Porcher Marine (France), with the
Designation 9092 E85A (top surface,
cloth weight 46 g/m²), 9017 E38A
(bottom surface, cloth weight 40 g/m²),
9092 E29A (supported ribs and V-
Tapes, cloth weight 45 g/m²) and 9017
E29A (not supported ribs, cloth weight
40 g/m²).
Porcher paraglider cloth is renowned
for low porosity, high hydrophobic
properties and long-lasting colour
fastness and tear resistance.
