Numerical Data
For all you number-crunchers out there, feast on this:| pilot take-off weight | 80-100 kg | (177-221 lbs) | | wing weight | 5.9 kg | (13.0 lbs) | | wing area (flat) | 24.7 m² | (266 ft²) | | wing area (projected) | 21.7 m² | (233 ft²) | | wing span (flat) | 11.9 m | (39 ft) | | wing span (projected) | 9.7 m | (32 ft) | | aspect ratio (flat) | 5.7 | | | aspect ratio (projected) | 4.3 | | | min sink | 1.1 m/s | (216 fpm, 4.0 kph, 2.1 knts) | | best glide ratio | 8.6:1 | | | speed min | 23 kph | (14 mph, 12 knts) | | speed trim | 37 kph | (23 mph, 20 knts) | | speed max | 54 kph | (34 mph, 29 knts) |
Non-Numerical Data, from DHV
If numbers don't excite you, try this:| take off handling | easy | | roll damping | average | | control travel | average | | agility | average | | spiral dive entry | easy | | spiral dive exit | turn continues through < 180 degrees | | landing behavior | easy | | B-line stall entry | easy | | B-line stall recovery | spontaneous | | big ears entry | easy | | big ears recovery | spontaneous, quickly |
All the above were recorded when the paraglider was flown at max weight.
Color Schemes
The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Airwave Mustang. 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. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page.
gold leading edge, red, white trailing edge
red leading edge, white, blue trailing edge
blue leading edge, white, blue trailing edge
