About the U-TURN PROGRESS

 

Electric mobility is the future of transport. The PROGRESS is the first glider designed for electric motors, too. While when flying combustion engines, efficiency is secondary, it is the key factor for performance flying electric units. The PROGRESS is a versatile cruiser to acquire skills on reflex wings. With increasing speed, the reflex effect is enhanced by modifying the profile. This gives PG pilots the perfect entry to reflex technology. The PROGRESS offers a huge fun factor to ambitious pilots.

The easy handling of the PROGRESS shows already when inflating the wing. The wing comes up with only a little impulse, centres itself and raises above the pilot's head. Even at low speed, the very good glide makes the PROGRESS a super easy launching wing. This shortens the distance to being airborne to a minimum. We worked to make more gear on a PPG takeoff handle easy until we had the perfect launcher. Even on nil wind and dew-wet grass, the wing comes up astonishingly easily. In flight, the wing has direct and precise handling and cuts through the air like rails. The brake pressure is comparably low. The PROGRESS has a Tip steering system known from competition wings to efficiently change directions, breaking only the wingtip. The 2D steering modification kit comes with the wing.

 

The Progress is the perfect choice for pilots who want to acquire skills on a safe and performing reflex wing. The multipurpose semi-reflex wing offers PG pilots a comfortable entrance into paramotoring. The Progress is a  Cruiser which has high efficiency, what shows out particularly thermalling or soring a PPG.

Innovations

Chief designer Ernst Strobl perfectly balanced maximum performance and passive safety. Therefore, he equipped the wing with the newest technological features. The reflex profile of the PROGRESS calculated shark nose increases the stability even more in turbulent air and allows flying with a wide range of angles of attack. The PPN and 3D (3DS) shaping give the wing a perfect geometrical precision of the leading edge. The High-Pressure Crossport Design (HPCD) evens out internal pressure differences. Mini ribs (MRB) and the break-gathering system (BGS) make a nice, clean trailing edge. The line geometry is based on more attachment points than average, so the load spreads out more evenly across the wing. This is to reach consistent wing geometry and less line loading to reduce line diameters. The riser has ball-bearing pulleys in the speed system and trimmers, too. The optional tip steering toggle-stick easily stores in place on the risers with magnets. The PROGRESS has been designed with paramotor professional Guillaume Vallance during the last two years. The former Paramania test pilot brought in all his experience from competition and training.
