Icaro Wildcat Paraglider is Here: XC Performance with Safety of EN B!

Incorporating the latest innovations gleaned from development of the ultra performance Icaro GTO Race competition paraglider,  the Icaro Wildcat is the latest inspired paraglider design aimed at cross country pilots, who want stress free flying, within the safety of the LTF1-2 & EN B class.

A review of the details of this paraglider impress: 

The aspect ratio of 5.5 flat and 4.5 projected is higher than typically found in this class, see below table for a comparison of popular EN B class paragliders:

• Extensive v-rib and span wise pre-tensioned struts allow for: a high aspect ratio, a low form profile, a wrinkle free paraglider canopy, excellent form rigidity, and lines only every third cell.
• Performance-Air-Intake-Flaps (PAIF), an Icaro innovation, are small fabric triangles under the leading edge that increase the cell opening size at the start, for a simple launch. In flight, the flaps close, and the reduced cell openings of smaller size typically only found on DHV2 paraglider, achieve an additional performance kick. 
• Lightweight construction of the canopy interior and the stabilo for a significant folding resistance of the paragliding canopy and refined extreme flight behavior.  
• Pro-grip brake handles, an Icaro innovation, allow customizing the brake handle size for the paraglider pilot. Swivels prevent twisting of the brake lines.

We have the first Wildcats destined for North America and two are already sold!  

We will be releasing more details and a photo spread once we have had some more time with the paraglider that is destined to set new standards in the ENB /LTF1-2 class.
