About the Revo3 Design concept
Your Revo 3 is the very latest in a new generation of super easy to use Paramania wings. It is specially
designed to forgive a pilot of error in ways that have not been present in our sport before. This makes it the
ideal wing start out on and yet performance is clearly intermediate. It has a wide speed range with good econo-
my and a fun level of safe handling to go with it.
As fellow pilots we feel you are likely to continue growing into this wing for several years. it can adapt to suit
most conditions and type of flying its pilot wishes to do. Basically, it will help you develop your skills in relative
safety, as you explore and discover the full extent of what this wing is capable of.
It is important to recognize that the introduction of Reflex (pitch positive) wing sections into our sport was a key
technology. It made possible safe progressive development ever since.
Microlights had a similar story initially developed as powered hang-gliders that over time favored more power-
ful engines and smaller, more stable, lower aspect ratio, wings. It soon became clear that the faster your wing,
the more often you could use it!
Similar interests have pushed forward the evolution of utility/sport paramotor flying. We have moved towards
flying machines on which the pilot needs to spend less time and effort flying actively, responding to every lump
and bump, instead we are now free to focus on navigating, getting comfortably from A to B, or performing other
tasks, such as photography, observation or general flying.
Although your Revo3 wing is designed to fly with the feeling of a conventional paraglider, the Reflex wing
section means that it has an elevator built into its shape. The wing is less dependent solely on payload as its
only source of stability. It maintains its own attitude in pitch, rising and falling through thermals and turbulence,
whilst remaining stable above the pilot’s head, requiring minimal control input.
The trimmer system allows you to raise the rear of the airfoil, effectively reducing the chord and surface area
by some 30%, giving the wing a higher wing loading and increased speed without changing the angle of attack.
The centre of pressure also moves forward adding further to the pitch stability. This redistribution of loading
gives the wing exceptional tuck-resistance and increases the working aspect ratio. The result is a faster, more
efficient wing under power and at speed, much like a traditional powered aircraft.
When requiring more lift at lower speeds, the rear section can be trimmed down to restore a fully flapped
Reflex airfoil hence the Revo3 changes its characteristics, becoming closer to a conventional paraglider with
smooth sporty handling, short slow take-offs and steep climb outs. It's like having two wings in one.
