Design features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Sliding A-riser | According to BGD, the A-riser is split higher than usual so that the wing rises evenly even when the pilot holds all the A-risers at launch. |
| BGD Parasim | BGD develops with its own structural and aerodynamic simulation program Parasim, simulating hundreds of prototypes instead of building each one. |
| Chord Cut Billow (CCB) | According to BGD, two chordwise seams on the top-surface panels of the leading edge take up the ballooning of the panels and reduce wrinkles in the top surface. |
| Reflex profile | According to BGD, the Blizzard has a gentle reflex profile that improves stability at speed. |
| High or low hangpoint ready | According to BGD, brake pulley loops, tip-steering pulleys and Snap Locks are fitted for paramotors with high and with low hangpoints. |
| Progressive stability | BGD designs its wings with its own Parasim simulation program so that the centre is stable and solid and the tips become progressively softer. |
| Replaceable brake pulleys | According to BGD, the brake pulleys are attached with a larks-head knot, so they can easily be replaced or swapped for rings. |
| Roller-cam trimmers | According to BGD, the trimmers have roller-cams that do not slip, are easy to operate and reduce wear on the webbing. |
| Snap Locks | According to BGD, Snap Locks are lightweight attachments for the brake handles on the risers. A magnet and a locking system hold the handle; it releases only when pulled down towards the pilot. |
