The Airex is designed by Mike Campbell-Jones, the inventor of the Reex technology and father of
modern paramotoring. The Airex is based on a Reex prole but has an amazingly easy ination and
easy loading for takeoff compared to other wings made with the same prole type. This is due to a new
generation of light leading edge, to an optimum placement of the attachment points, and to an original
line cascade which utilizes the complete efciency of the prole.

The Airex performs better and


ies faster

Key features:

It is very easy to manage the angle and radius of the turn with dynamic and
precise handling the trademark of GIN gliders. AIRFLEX has a dynamic roll
but without excess. It is very stable in pitch, which helps to coordinate the
turn with a paramotor and allows tight turns or wide turns with a good sink
rate. The arc has been calculated to help to initiate the turn with roll, but at
the same time keeping a strict directional stability and avoiding any bad
rolling tendency. This is a very important characteristic in PPG, and helps to
control the spiral dive.

The wing is very stable in all axes, especially at full speed. The sink rate is excellent at both slow and fast speeds, which allows a wide usable speed range.
The risers include a wing tip steering kit to pilot the wing when accelerated.

than other wings in this intermediate category. The


secret? Mike has used 2 proles in the wing with
different angles of attack across the wingspan. The
original planform shape decreases the drag.
