T-Fighter

The trike glider

Share the fun of trike flying!
The T-Fighter is a wing for light, two-seater trikes within the 120 kg class. It is designed for all trike pilots who are looking for a reliable powered paraglider so that they can share the fascination of flying with others.

State-of-the-art canopy design

specially developed for the requirements of trike flying

Pull-up aid on the risers

Integrated pull-up aid on the risers for easy launching

High weight range

The high weight range from 110 to 340 kg is possible due to the use of variable trimmer.

Balanced flight behavior

The profile runs out very slim towards the trailing edge, resulting in low control pressure even on high loads.

FAQ

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
