Some of you asked for a PARAKITE! So I was calculating a lot: doing CFD simulations and FSI analysis. Finally we built 3 prototypes. Everyone of them was good! We were choosing the best one, which is the most simple and radical one to be produced in series: The ROWDY is a revolution in simplicity…
Following the huge success of our new NITINOL TECHNOLOGY in MAESTRO 3, we are now introducing its little brother: Introducing the BEAT 2 light NT (NITINOL TECHNOLOGY)! The trim and cuts remain the same, but we are now using the new 4-layer MJ29 fabric. Our NITINOL technology with NEORPENE padding in the nose creates a…
The MAESTRO 3 light is here! Same as the normal version, the light version has NITINOL rods and NEOPRENE paddings in the nose, to protect the cloth in that critical area. We wanted to offer an “all day robustness” rather than being super light on the cost of durability. Even the high technical effort, the…
Here is the MAESTRO 3! The MAESTRO 3 has a touch more aspect ratio, a different profile, different rods (Nitinol with padding), a slightly different rigging, different straps, canopy tension, mini ribs etc. It performs better, flies a little nicer, is even more stable and has much better, smoother handling. Overall it feels much more…
We are proud to present our first harness: the CABRIO. After 2 and a half year of very intense development: here is the result. The CABRIO is a modular, versatile harness. You can fly it with or without seat plate. You can optionally install additional protectors. You can change and customise the outer shell to…
Performance shared is performance doubled! As most biplace wings on the market are low B concepts, we heard of the demand for a high performance wing, that is stylish and a joy to fly with. So here is the RONDO: a high aspect ratio High B wing! The performance is amazing: you need a high…
The fascination of minimalism! The fundamental fascination of paragliding is based not only on the flying possibilities of the aircraft but above all on the ultra-compact dimensions when packed up. As a human being, you can always have your wings with you: a very attractive idea that “inspires” your imagination.
The BEAT GOES ON! Here is the long awaited BEAT 2 and BEAT 2 light! You will experience the clearly better, more forgiving take off behaviour. You may immediately feel the better handling, higher agility, even more “defined” feedback. The playful ease with which you dance your way to the top of the thermalling pulk…
The first SCALA 2 light have arrived! Sizes 18 and 19 have successfully passed the certification tests with an EN C classification. It’s not just the certification (SCALA 1 was EN D) that is different. We have improved and optimized many parameters: -wing airfoil and suspensions are different. -sail tension (ballooning) is new. -the entire…
Here comes the TENOR 2 light! Same as the normal version, the light version lost weight compared to it’s already ultralight predecessor (even being slightly larger). The TENOR 2 light has around 200g less weight (depending on size). Again the whole wing is made of Skytex 27 double coated. The TENOR light was one of…
The TENOR 2 is here! The TENOR 2 is a little larger than the first generation. In contrast to the first one, there are more differences between the sisters SYMPHONIA 2 and TENOR 2. The TENOR 2 has different line layout with less top lines (more diagonals), resulting in a little bit better performance. Even…
Long awaited and longed for by many: now it’s here: the super light version of the SYMPHONIA 2! -and it is actually very light! The first serial wings are here! Get you a demo wing and try it!
Around 4.5 years ago we introduced a funny striped A class wing that cost as much as a High B glider. We then also communicated that this wing offers high B performance! -many competitors laughed at us! -all of them have lost their laughter by now… 🙂 Not only have we created a new class…
Pascal Purin testing the new SYMPHONIA 3 24 before certification.
PHI - a paragling brand of Papesh GmbH
Feedback of Pascal Purin "Into the Sky" after testflights of SYMPHONIA 3 20 and 24 in Meduno:
Hannes: Wie war's denn jetzt?
Pascal: Ja grundsätzlich sehr gut!
Der Schirm ist soooo unglaublich rollstabil. Das macht das Fliegen so simpel!
Hannes: So, how was it?
Pascal: Yeah, basically really good!
The wing is so incredibly roll-stable. It makes flying so simple!
I will later explain, how we can do such great roll behaviour WITHOUT WINGLETS and without PERFORMANCE LOSS. In our opinion, we found the NEXT STEP!

Please welcome the:
SYMPHONIA 3!
We built some protos in different directions, and found this concept the best. It is in many ways new and different:
ground shape, cell width distribution, airfoils, sail tension, material (lines, nitinol rods).
-but it stays the radical performing and radical safe wing, the SYMPHONIA has always been.
The key of that stunning performance is the crazy low line drag!
By having only 2 lines in wingspan direction, the SYMPHONIA 3 has less line meters than a high perf 2 liner.
-and now, with some new line material introduced (PPSLS 95 and 125), the 3rd generation has even less line drag.
The SYMPHONIA 3 climbs better, glides better in every scenario, and has much better roll damping and straight-line flight characteristics.
It has our new Nitinol rods technology, all inside sewn miniribs and a new 4 times coated material
We will present the light version (SYMPHONIA 3 light) immediately afterwards.

- well then, it's time to play the most powerful card in this game...
It is not the ACE, of course!
-the concept, that founded a new class: that gave the sport a new impulse.
-the idea that was the beginning of our story.
When we started out, we staked everything on a single card.
Looking back, it wasn't much of a risk, because it is the most powerful card in the game (but we did not know that time)!
Misunderstood by some and laughed at by many, this card takes every trick!
We bow before the new queen of our sport:
Colorful and with a broad smile, she will strike fear and amazement into the hearts of higher-class wings!
