DESCRIBTIONS AND TECHNICAL DATES

The SilexX was developped specifically for use with a Paramotor but has good performance
in thermals.

The SilexX ist easy to pilot, and ideally suited for the recreational pilot. It is a pleasure to
fly due to the easy handling and great stability.

The planform of the SilexX is eliptical, slightly swept. This planform allows for a clean sail
and profile with very few Attachment points. Few attachment points mean less lines that
result in good glide due to less parasitic drag.

The  SilexX is designed from scratch. Mehrere computerberechnete. Many CAD designs
where prototyped, tested and the best was selected. The profil selected has great stabili-
ty, soft, forgiving reactions, easy handling and excellent performance.

The closed cells have Dacron Reinforcements for best Stability. Dacron reinforcements at
the attachment points spread the loads evenly. The air enters the SilexX through the open
cells at the underside of the wing.

Large Crossports are utilized for even pressure throughout the wing.
