INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURER WEBSITE
The TARGETcross owes its special flight characteristics to the elaborate manufacturing with different line lengths. Although this makes the packing procedure of the TARGETcross somewhat different from that of a conventional cross canopy, it is not more complicated.
Its S-shaped canopy trim provides a high righting moment, so that the TARGETcross is in a stall for a short time imediately after opening. This reliably prevents a downplane position of the reserve. The paraglider is quickly unloaded and dives down. This prevents the danger of a scissor position between the rescue system and the paraglider, facilitates the recovery of the main glider and allows the unhooking of one riser with FINSTERWALDER Pinlock or even conventional carabiners.
The sinking of the TARGETcross during stall corresponds to that of a conventional cross canopy. The then beginning forward movement in the direction of the red marked corner further reduces the sink rate significantly.
Steerability is an optional feature of the ST versions of the TARGETcross. If it is not used after deployment, e.g. due to low altitude, the landing will be the same as with a conventional cross canopy. If required, the Basic versions of the TARGETcross can be converted to be steerable by the manufacturer at a later date.
