Design features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| ALULA simulations | BGD developed the wing with its own structural and aerodynamic simulation program ALULA, simulating hundreds of variants instead of building each prototype. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Motor risers | According to BGD, the paramotor risers have trimmers and a redesigned geometry. The trimmer webbing and brake pulleys are replaceable. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
