Windtech Syncro


The Windtech Syncro is a Spanish single-place paraglider that was designed and produced by Windtech Parapentes of Gijón. It is now out of production.

Design and development

The Syncro was designed as an advanced cross country glider for experienced pilots. The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.
The planform and aerofoil sections were computer designed for optimal glide over the speed range. The design incorporates a "Security Speed System", a combination of closed and half-closed cells on the leading edge to provide a more rigid shape.
The glider wing is made from Porcher Marine Skytex 44 g/m2 nylon fabric. The rib reinforcements are 180 g/m2 Dacron, with the trailing edge reinforcement fabricated of 175 g/m2 polyester. The lines are all sheathed Kevlar of 1.1 and 1.7 mm diameter. The risers are made from 20 mm wide Polyamida strapping.
