The Thrust HP
APCO’s High
Performance Paramotoring Wing
Thrust HP is fully certified
by new EN certification
'C'. Now also available with stabilo
steering option (Certified).
Conceived as a direct result of pilot demand for a high performance, high
speed range wing capable of competing with latest Reflex generation of wings,
but with spotless launch/ flare, lighter brake pressure and responsive handling.
The
Thrust riser system
allows the pilot to modify the THRUST profile into Reflex profile
using the
trimmers and accelerator, retaining
the advantages of THRUST profile on the lower end of the speed range and
maintaining the ability for very low stall speed, helping with launch in any
wind condition. This was achieved by incorporating a unique patent pending
SRS® (automatic
Stall Recovery System)
into the HP design.
Therefore we
call this a hybrid profile. In the normal flying position all four rows of lines
(ABCD) of the canopy are load-bearing whereas when flying at maximum speed only
the A's and B's take the load. The greatest thickness of the aerodynamic profile
has been moved more forwards so as to support any changes around the centre of
pressure and keep the wing pilot-able at all speeds.
The Thrust's risers are fitted with long trimmers which allow it
to comfortably maintain a cruising speed of over 50 km/h and a top speed over 60
km/h. In case of flying in rough air the foot operated speed system is better to
maintain a high cruising speed, control the pitch of the wing and return to slow
flying if necessary
SRS® is responsible for THRUST ability to
fly and launch at amazingly low speed despite its high wing loading, preventing
the wing and pilot from stalling at critical angle of attack and aiding in
automatic recovery in case of a stall. HP design is based on Thrust concept,
using same profile and plane form, allowing for sharing of the same certification
as THRUST. SRS® combined with
HIT® valves and FLEXON® battens (along with
other unique APCO features) are responsible for the unrivaled performance of
THRUST HP - We believe - currently the best paramotor wing around

Thrust 09 is now made from the new lightweight Gelvenor siliconised cloth
with optional 5 Year/500 hour warranty, shedding 500gr. of its weight.
New,
sophisticated
FLEXON® batten system incorporated - replacing mylar reinforcement on
L/E - another 300gr. gone from weight of the glider.
 | Launch - spotless - no matter wind or no wind,
cross or tail
|
 | Ground Handling – THRUST
positions itself over head with no effort and just hovers there even
in the slightest wind with no sign of collapse, waiting for the pilot
to be ready to accelerate into the air
|
 | In the air the wing acceleration is smooth,
and THRUST willingly responds to the engine’s thrust
|
 | Handling - direct, precise and effortless
|
 | Flying - awesome
|
 | Safety – impeccable
|
 | Landing – piece of cake!
|
 | Riser – with accelerator and trim (for
paramotor version), featuring 2 different levels of hook-in points
enabling the THRUST to be fitted to any frame and capable of huge
safe, speed range thanks to APCO’s exclusive HIT valves (well over

COLOR OPTIONS
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon
cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give
the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for
the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are
made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against
UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of
polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that
attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
