ORANGE CROSS
…die Quadratur des Kreises!
The Swing Orange Cross uniquely combines all the requirements of a modern paraglider rescue system.
It is a cross canopy that combines the best features of various rescue constructions. Thanks to special openings for dynamic pressure equalization, the low-slung cross canopy design achieves unprecedented pendulum stability even in strong and unfavourable wind conditions. The innovative concept enables opening times with peak values, but prevents the undesirable tendency of cross canopies to slide open. This avoids unnecessary mental stress in extreme situations and the pilot can concentrate on landing at an early stage with low sink rates.
In addition to essential functions such as pendulum stability, fast opening times and good sink rates, the SWING Orange Cross, manufactured in Europe, impresses with its extremely small pack size and low weight thanks to the use of state-of-the-art materials. The packing method has been greatly simplified and is almost identical to that of a round canopy. The excellent processing of high-quality materials enables a long service life of up to 12 years.
FEATURES
Who is the Orange Cross for?
The SWING Orange Cross is the right choice for all pilots who want to minimize the potential risk of injury when landing at the rescue. Thanks to its small pack size and low weight, the Orange Cross is also suitable for reversible and lightweight harnesses. Whether you are an occasional or cross-country pilot, a pleasure pilot or an acro pilot – with the SWING Orange Cross, confidence in your own safety is always “on board”.
