The Airfl ex, the intermediate paramotor wing by GINThe Airfl ex is designed by Mike Campbell-Jones, the inventor of the Refl ex technology and father of modern paramotoring. The Airfl ex is based on a Refl ex profi le but has an amazingly easy infl ation and easy loading for takeoff compared to other wings made with the same profi le type. This is due to a new generation of light leading edge, to an optimum placement of the attachment points, and to an original line cascade which utilizes the complete effi ciency of the profi le.

The Airfl ex performs better and fl ies fasterthan other wings in this intermediate category. The secret? Mike has used 2 profi les in the wing with different angles of attack across the wingspan. The original planform shape decreases the drag.
Airfl ex is delivered with:• Airfl ex rucksack with integrated fast packing bag (130L)• Inner bag, owner’s manual and accelerator bar
Key features:• Intermediate paramotor wing• Refl ex profi le• Easy infl ation, high lift ability at take off for a Refl ex profi le• Pitch stability• Precise turn and easy handling with brakes• High level of passive safety• Paramotor risers: 20cm trimmers range (A/D)• Speed system range: 16 cm• Full speed steering kit connected on tips when trimmers are open• EN B / C certifi ed

It is very easy to manage the angle and radius of the turn with dynamic and precise handling – the trademark of GIN gliders. AIRFLEX has a dynamic roll but without excess. It is very stable in pitch, which helps to coordinate the turn with a paramotor and allows tight turns or wide turns with a good sink rate. The arc has been calculated to help to initiate the turn with roll, but at the same time keeping a strict directional stability and avoiding any bad rolling tendency. This is a very important characteristic in PPG, and helps to control the spiral dive.
The wing is very stable in all axes, especially at full speed. The sink rate is ex-cellent at both slow and fast speeds, which allows a wide usable speed range. The risers include a wing tip steering kit to pilot the wing when accelerated.
The “trimmers off” maximum position is 20cm (A/D) and the speed system range is 16cm.
