Numerical Data

For all you number-crunchers out there, feast on this:

pilot take-off weight 65-90 kg (144-199 lbs)
wing weight 6.0 kg (13.3 lbs)
wing area (flat) 25.2 m� (271 ft�)
wing area (projected) 22.3 m� (240 ft�)
wing span (flat) 11.5 m (38 ft)
wing span (projected) 9.7 m (32 ft)
aspect ratio (flat) 5.2
aspect ratio (projected) 4.2
min sink 1.2 m/s (236 fpm, 4.3 kph, 2.3 knts)
best glide ratio 8.6:1
speed min 21 kph (13 mph, 11 knts)
speed trim 37 kph (23 mph, 20 knts)
speed max 49 kph (30 mph, 26 knts)

I can find no non-numerical test report data from CEN for the Aerodyne Shaolin paraglider, sorry.

Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Aerodyne Shaolin. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge.

'Coco' - white with yellow leading edge

'Artic' - blue with silver leading edge

'Lapon' - gold with blue leading edge

'Rise' - yellow with white leading edge

A Good Book

Paragliding - A Pilot's Training Manual. Do you have at least a few hours of soaring experience under your belt? Keen to learn much more? This book will fill out your knowledge nicely. Just remember it doesn't take the place of your instructor!
