Duet
Share the joy of flying safely and easily
The DUET is a complete and easy to use two-seater / tandem paraglider for both commercial and recreational use.
Making a good tandem or two-seater is not an easy task. The wing is large, but it must have a perfect take-off and a turning behavior on a par with single-seater gliders. Our DUET has it all, and a little more! Despite the use of "normal" (not light) fabric and lines, the Duet is unexpectedly light: just 6.7 kg for size 41. We do not sacrifice weight or longevity of the fabric. The DUET is so light thanks to its sophisticated construction! Our Optimized Profile Stress (OPS) analysis technology allowed us to create a glider that is light but very robust.
Light weight means perfect takeoff behavior and good handling. The level of performance is also very good for an easy tandem wing, allowing for easy warm-up and impressive XC potential. Also, due to the anti-vortex tips (AVT), the DUET has a very long brake travel that provides an additional level of safety.
