BGD Typhoon
We check what fits your flying style, setup and requirements - especially for wings, motors, harnesses, reserves and complete sets.
According to BGD, the Typhoon is a paramotor wing for intermediate pilots, a little sportier and faster than the Blizzard. The light cloth makes launching easy, especially in light wind. BGD recommends that less experienced pilots fly it in the lower part of the weight range.

Design features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 Typhoon has a 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. |
| 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. |
| Tip-steering toggles (TST) | According to BGD, the tip-steering toggles let the pilot steer without the brakes when flying accelerated. Brake and tip-steering handles are separate; a loop on the brake handle lets the tip-steering lines be attached for 2D steering. |
