APOLLO 3

Conquer the first 100km, complete the first FAI triangle, or be the first to climb to the base... ambitions grow with the taste of achieved goals. For these purposes, APOLLO 3 was designed. Follow the white rabbit into the world of cross-country paragliding with us!

APOLLO 3 offers an unparalleled blend of safety, performance, and excitement, making it the ideal choice for pilots looking to enhance their flying adventures. Positioned confidently in the middle to high EN-B category, the APOLLO 3 is perfect for ambitious novices of XC flights or seasoned pilots descending from higher class.

If there's one thing that stands out about the APOLLO 3, it's its ability to handle thermal conditions. Pilots will gain confidence from the attention given to APOLLO 3's design process, as it allows for tightening turns, navigating tiny broken bubbles, or riding fast climbing rockets.

During the transitions, the BC steering system with a full-speed bar helps minimize undesirable movements of the canopy in turbulent air. Pilots can achieve safer piloting with minimal impact on performance.

Why do pilots like APOLLO 3:

• Pilots appreciate the ease of takeoffs and landings - optimized internal structure contributed to the superior performance in these phases of flight. The wing doesn't overshoot, nor is it an effort to get it overhead.
• The APOLLO 3 has an exceptional balance between manoeuvrability and climb rate in thermal conditions. Pilots can also achieve maximum control efficiency behind the rear row with the help of two high-quality pulleys on the B row, making it functionally the best option.
• Count on the Apollo 3 for stability and control, guaranteeing a smooth and steady flight for complete confidence in every manoeuvre.
• Engineered with cutting-edge materials and technology, this design offers maximum safety without sacrificing performance, showcasing an advanced safety design.
• The overhauled internal structure significantly helps out stability and durability, guaranteeing steadfast performance in all flying conditions.
• The B/C steering system effectively mitigates the impact on performance by stabilizing canopy movements in turbulent air, even at full throttle.
• Complete SIV training is entirely achievable with APOLLO 3, which is no longer standard with hybrid and over-reinforced wings. You benefit from the three-line concept.

Main features:

• XRC - Cross Rods Construction for proper tension and accurate leading edge pressure.
• The Triple 3D cut, which has two upper surface cuts and one lower, ensures the foil's cleanest curves. The result is a highly efficient profile with excellent internal pressure values throughout the speed range that remains simple to launch, highly durable, and simple to pack.
• Proven three-and-a-half rows and three-risers line concept with split A-risers for more comfortable ears.
• AFP - Leading edge pocket reinforcements on the lower intake prevent cell vibrations at higher speeds.
• Comfort-focused C Risers: The handle on the C riser is designed for maximum comfort during long speed bar transitions. Its shape minimizes the risk of cord entanglement in case of a collapse.

Standa Klikar designer:

When creating a wing, the first thing to do is to determine a few critical parameters that will direct the characteristics of that particular wing. I have chosen medium aspect ratio values for the APOLLO 3 glider and retained the proven concept of three rows chordwise across the canopy span. We spared no expense in bracing and supporting the load-ribs and non-load-ribs for a smooth surface and aerodynamically clean airflow.

We aimed to achieve the most versatile result possible and ensure our wing didn't scare pilots from lower "B" wings with less flight time but not to be despised by experienced matadors.

• EYRIE 2 L backpack.  Well-cushioned back, shoulder and waist parts for more comfort. Conveniently placed pockets. Internal retaining strap.

• SKY SLIM BAG SL. We realise that easy packing at the end of a good flight is essential to finish off the day in good spirits. Sky Slim makes it as easy and as simple as possible and the bag offers the ability to pack compact if desired.

• T-shirt SKY TEAM. At Sky, a T-shirt gets as much attention as a paraglider. T-shirts are designed, cut, sewn and printed by us, in our manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic. They are made of cotton and bamboo fibres for comfort and durability.

• Handy kit - a glider repair kit for quick repairs. It contains a versatile tool and self-adhesive Skytex.
