ITV Piper
FASTER, FURTHER, DISCOVER THE PIPER!
A versatile high-performance wing targeting experienced PPG pilots looking for speed, accuracy and efficiency while maintaining a high level of passive safety.
The PIPER is an amalgam of new technologies and ITV know-how. Its light shark-nose and diagonal reinforcing ribs give it an excellent level of resistance against collapse in turbulent air. The PIPER is a comfortable feel-good glider in all flying conditions. The use of different materials, notably a lighter cloth on the intrados, enables the pilot to easily inflate and handle the glider.
A perfectly smooth top surface, combined with our new FULL REFLEX profile spanning over the entire length of the wing, provide the PIPER with an excellent glide sustained in all usable air masses. The PIPER’s assets are reflected in a significantly appreciated reduced fuel consumption.

EASE OF USE AND EXCEPTIONAL SAFETY LEVEL!
The BOXER 2 was made for Powered Paragliding (PPG) beginners. Its modern design (ILT, 3D shaping, IRS)* and smart choices made by the R&D Dept., contribute to make it easy to untangle the lines and setup the glider. Indeed, 3 risers on each side, and 3 low lines per riser guarantee a trouble free handling of the wing.
The inflation does not require any abrupt gestures, or forceful accompaniment, because the BOXER 2 simply scoops the air and gently climbs overhead. It is much forgiving and will forgive the beginner pilot’s natural gesture approximation.
Once inflated, dampening of the wing is quickly and naturally buffered, only a slight pull on the toggles will be needed during the running phase to takeoff with a smooth gradual lift.
