Viper 6: High-Performance PPG Wing
The Viper 6 is engineered for experienced PPG pilots seeking top-tier efficiency, speed, and performance. This wing incorporates cutting-edge design elements and technology from our high-performance PG and PPG development programs, offering an exhilarating flight experience ideal for long cross-country (XC) journeys and high-level classic competitions.
The advanced performance of the Viper 6 ensures better fuel efficiency and extended XC flights, eliminating the need to fly overpowered. In thermal conditions, its glide, sink rate, and handling are akin to a free-flight paraglider, providing agile, enjoyable handling and exceptional climb and glide performance. This makes the Viper 6 an especially great choice for electric paramotor pilots as it provides around 20-30% longer flight times versus other paramotor wings in its class.
Design Features
- Winglets: Enhance roll stability, increasing efficiency in straight flight with minimal parasitic roll movements and reduced pilot input. They also improve spiral stability, lowering the risk of neutral spiral dives.
- Strengthened Internal Structure: Critical load areas are reinforced to minimize mechanical deformation of ribs and diagonals, ensuring better structural integrity and maintaining wing quality over time for superior performance and longevity.
- Lightweight Fabric: Utilizes lightweight siliconized Dominico N10D fabric, reducing overall sail weight for improved handling, greater feel, and better inflation characteristics. The silicon coating significantly enhances durability for a longer lifespan.
- Optimized Profile: The profile is carefully selected to balance performance, solidity, efficiency, and handling, with minor modifications to the planform for smoother, more progressive rib alignment.
The Viper 6 risers are equipped with:
- Color Coding: For easy differentiation of risers.
- New Maillon Line Keepers
- Brake Handles: With twist-preventing swivels and magnetic-lock clips.
- Ozone PK System: Integrated into the risers along with a 2D steering system. (Also now available with the standard riser system for a more simplistic setup)
