The POWER VEGA

from

Paratour is the exclusive North American importer for the paramotor range of Axis gliders
dealer inquiries are welcome.
 
 
The Power Vega is noted for its high performance and extended range of passive safety,

It offers the easy and precise handling found in all the Axis gliders.

The Power Vega is a sporty wing that combines the high performance reserved for higher class gliders, with the safety of the standard class.
Because of a high canopy stability and ease of learning, this glider received an EN-C (size S EN-B) classification at testing.


It is a fast, dynamic, but also stable and predictable glider. 

Most pilots would choose this as a second or third wing in one’s flying career but for some it will be their final choice based on the ideal combination of performance, durability and safety.

For the experienced pilot who wants a more responsive glider


 The Power Vega is targeted toward the experienced pilot (foot launch and trike).
Experienced pilots will appreciate the safety built in for recreational and XC flights!
The projection of the Power Vega is designed in such way that the distribution of the uplift pressure is optimized.  The  specially developed profile enables stable flight with a wide range of angle of attack.

The projected area has been designed to lower induced resistance and increase the glider's performance. For thermalling, the glide ratio has been improved and greater speed range has been produced while providing greater stability and improved feedback. 

  Construction

The well established construction of diagonal reinforcements in the  attachments of lines A, B, C and D has been taken from the concept of the Axis Mercury competition glider. 

The amount of lines have been minimized by the application of strategically using different diameters, therefore significantly reducing frontal resistance and increasing the wing’s performance without any effect on safety.

The application of reinforcements on the leading edge increases the stability of the canopy on max. speed. 



Axis reduced the weight of the canopy by the application of new materials, which also increase the safety. 


Material reinforcements are added between the exterior line tabs and all the stitching is on the inside of the wing for greater protection. 

 

An innovation – The newly designed “special differential speed-system” increases speed while reducing the chances of collapses at maximum speed.

Axis achieved these excellent characteristics by using high quality materials (Porcher Marine Scrim W420) on the leading edge of the glider and new materials which have reduced the weight of the canopy, also increasing its safety.

The canopy is made of Skytex S 9017, a water repellent material that has high UV reflectivity.
