Cross canopy reserves

TARGETcross: The future of paraglider rescue systems lies in the steerability of normal cross canopies, as they offer both experienced pilots and beginners additional options for dealing with emergency situations. At the same time, the steerability has no negative impact on weight, surface area or volume. Thanks to the use of the highest quality materials, the TARGETcross ST100 is one of the lightest paraglider rescue systems currently available, weighing only 1,170 g, measuring 25.2 m2 and having a volume of 3,900 cc, while still being sufficiently robust.

Separating the paraglider with the Paralock and landing safely with the TARGETcross

During the development of the TARGETcross, we paid a lot of attention to the problem of the reserve becoming entangled with the glider and carried out a lot of testing.

CHARLY reserve inner containers

Our inner containers have a separate compartment for the lines, so that the canopy is only released after the lines have been fully stretched. The line bundles remain protected inside the container, line tangles during deployment are safely avoided and the risk of entanglements of the reserve with the main glider is minimized. The fastening rubbers are made of elastic braids with a fabric sleeve and are much more durable than conventional packing rubbers.

The inner containers are suitable for the TARGETcross as well as for conventional CHARLY hang gliding and paragliding rescue systems.
