What's so special about the T-Fighter design?
T-Fighter has been construed particulary for paramotoring trikes, unlike many other paramotoring wings. It is not one of those wings which were designed by simply upsampling a paragliding wing. For example, the T-Fighter profile has been designed especially for the requirement in use with a motor and together with its special wing shape it provides ideal lift distribution and decay.
Thermal influences, which can cause pitching, thus get absorbed. The trailing throttle, according to trim adjustment, efficiently is transcribed into ascending or speed.
Why are take-offs with T-Fighter so easy?
Its particular facile take-off handling even starts with easy lines assorting. Due to an optimised camber of the canopy and its sweep especially for paramotoring trikes, T-Fighter is easy to launch and pretty much centers itself above the trike, thus it minimises the risk of tilting over during launch due to a pull-out of the wing. The characteristics of T-Fighter provide a sense of security from take-off onwards. Enjoy!
What is special about the handling of T-Fighter?
General flight chracteristics of T-Fighter are well-balanced. Due to its tapered profile at the rear edge, we achieved reduced pilot pressure even for high total load. Additionally we've set it up with our typical independence handling: precise canopy feedback and an immediate conversion of steering commands.eichnet.
What is the speed range of T-Fighter?
Due to a 9 cm long trimmer, trim speed can be increased at 10 km/h and that trimmer additionally makes it possible to balance the engines torque. Ground speed varies according to payload.
What is the weight range of T-Fighter?
T-Fighter has a huge weight range from 110 up to 340kg. Using a trimmer, that is adjustable during flight and 9cm long, made such weight range possible.
Due to a generous dimensioning of strength tests, we achieved test prods of 3500kg during certification. The weight range, which is actually applicable, is limited by the trike, not by T-Fighter.
Which material is used for T-Fighter?
For T-Fighter we have chosen only durable, robust material, which is suitable for long-time use as wing unit for trikes, such as Dominico D30 fabric. Every material we use is mady by leading manufacturers, whom we have been working and cooperating with in development issues for many years. A solid basis for high quality and for your long lasting enjoyment of flying T-Fighter.
