Paratrike/Tandem

Lightning und Orca – the right choice for heavy trikes

Security, stability in all situations, speed, high take-off weight, perfect take-off behavior and high performance are only some terms describing our Lightning and Orca.

Paratrike Schirme_01

Our two proven ppw-wings are an established standard for fast, heavy and dynamic paratrikes. Security and stability in all flight phases and unexpected situations were the mission to design these superior gliders. We worked with well-known paratrike manufacturers during the developing process to achieve this high goal (eg. Crazy Plane, Fly Castelluccio and Airmaster), (infos www.skyjam-aircraft.com). The result are gliders, which have no equals.

These wings guarantee excellent flight characteristics in a range from 110 Kg to 360 Kg. Excellent processing and best materials provide a maximum of passive safety.

And for all who want … The dynamic is pure fun”
