The X-TRIANGLE impresses with
The X-TRIANGLE is a new kind of
paragliding and hang gliding rescue system
that combines several advantages of different systems.
We didn´t just match a few existing systems together, no we developed a complete new rescue system. Not only the shape is new, but also its mode of FUNCTIONING. Immediately after deploying and opening of the canopy, the X-TRIANGLE sinks vertically and does NOT generate any FORWARD MOTION. The canopy is FULLY
SYMMETRIC straight after the opening. There is no pre-brake like on a rogallo canopy.
The pre-brake on a rogallo brings just a little slow down of the forward speed and definitely NO slow down to zero speed. A rogallo rescue is already from the construction side build asymmetrically and has always a GIVEN FORWARD motion, without this motion the rogallo would stall like a paraglider.
That´s one of the big differences to our new X-TRIANGLE system. Because of the SYMMETRICAL CONSTRUCTION of the X-TRIANGLE this rescue DOESN´T start to fly forward after the deployment and reduces so the danger of a down-plane (scissor position) substantially. With a rogallo the pilot should at least destroy the paraglider, bring it in or disconnect it from the harness to avoid a possible down-plane. Who already experienced this one´s during flying (and not in a SIV, because there the pilot knows what is coming next) knows what he can expect in a worst case scenario.
Thus, the X-TRIANGLE system is also suitable for absolute beginner pilots from the first day on. The pilot is now not forced to catch the paraglider after a rescue opening because the X-TRIANGLE does NOT generate an unwanted FORWARD DRIVE immediately after opening and so it can hardly come to a down-plane. However, if the situation makes it possible we recommend to bring in the paraglider, make it unflyable, or even disconnect it.
(see the operating manual for more information)
The X-TRIANGLE sinks extremely pendulum-stable due to its novel 3-CORNER CONSTRUCTION, the triangular shape has a self-stabilizing effect. If the CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIERE it and the pilot has to avoid an OBSTACLE or to make a POINT LANDING, he|she can initiate the FORWARD DRIVE by pulling one or both control lines and STEER the forward motion in the desired direction by pulling a control line – left or right.
(see operating manual)
The X-TRIANGLE is the FIRST RESCUE device WORLDWIDE which has NO FORWARD SPEED right after the opening, SINKS VERTICALLY and begins the CONTROLLABLE FORWARD FLIGHT only by ACTIVELY ACTIVATING of the pilot. As a result, the X-TRIANGLE is unrestricted for ALL pilots.
We use only high-quality materials like LIROS (linen), UTT & DELCOTEX (cloth), GÜTH & WOLF (webbing), AMANN (thread), to achieve a unique product. All materials used are manufactured in EUROPE. Sophisticated and State of the art manufacturing methods guarantee best quality and a long service life according to ISO 9001.

EQUIPMENT
Newly developed 4-leaf container leaves nothing to be desired. Very compact design with separate line compartment for a quick and safe opening.
Line compartment
Separated line compartment for a problem-free stretching of the lines and an optimized opening of the canopy. First, the lines are released and with the last line loop the canopy is opened from the container only. This construction supports a maximum throwing power. The separated line compartment to the canopy also has another important reason. The coating of the dyneema lines is spared and a possible stick together with the fabric of the canopy is prevented.
Connecting loops rescue handle | container
At the container itself more connecting loops are sewn in order to ensure maximum compatibility with all on the market available harnesses. The main loop was designed as a triangle to allow an even better, easier and more powerful deployment.
New closure system of the cover sheet
The cover sheet is closed with a plastic stick or also known as Rigid Foil. The end of the cover sheet and the plastic stick itself is tucked into a flap of the container. With this construction we do not have anymore a disturbing line bundle on top of the deployment bag that could impair the opening of the rescue out of the harness container.
Numbering of the container leaves
The individual container sheets are numbered in order to be folded 1-5.
Replaceable rubber
The rubber for closing the container leaves is interchangeable.
Fully synthetic rubber bands
All X-dream Fly rescue devices are delivered with fully synthetic rubber bands from mid-2015 on. To get the maximum and proved X-dream Fly quality we decided to equip all our rescues with this rubber bands. The advantage of this rubber bands is a longer life and less sensitivity to humidity.
Without velcro!
The packing tabs are numbered. It makes the packing process easier and prevents misstakes.
Make the packing much easier for you!
