 size S is homologated for single flying. 

Canopy

 

The canopy of the 

TWICE TE

 is made of synthetic fabric with different strengths 

where  a  reinforced  thread-net  is  woven  in,  which  stops  the  fabric  from  further 
tearing  and  is  increasing  the  firmness  at  the  seams  and  has  sticks  made  of 
NITINOL for an optimized geometry of the canopy.  
The  coating  makes  the  fabric  water-repellent,  UV-stabile  and  air-impermeable. 
Between  the  single  groups  of  main  lines  are  taut  ribbons  sewn  in,  which  are 
regulating the tension of the sail.  
On the entry- and trailing-edge of the canopy a special ribbon with low elongation 
is  sewn  in,  which  offers  cunning,  by  our  design-software  calculated  tension-
distribution along the canopy. 

Lines

 

The end control of all line lengths is documented for all paragliders produced by 
ICARO paragliders. The complete geometry of the lines and the lengths is shown 
on the single line plan, which you find in the annex of the manual.
