Overview

The BLACKOUT is processed with utmost care and designed for longevity under extreme workload. For that U-Turn is also expediting the innovations in the material production – this way at the BLACKOUT the new PX40 is used. This was developed in co-operation with Paratex on the base of the established Thriller material. An innovative coating is providing better long term values and optimized tear resistance. PX40 is at the moment the strongest cloth out of which wings can be built.

But also in the processing everything is done for longevity and form fidelity, part of that are multiple strengthened sewings and strengthenings at all line suspensions and v-tapes. Chief designer Ernst Strobl is building the dynamic acro wing on 50 cells and relying on modified  line geometry. Like all acro gliders also the BLACKOUT is equipped with the Stabilo Security Function (SSF) to quickly resolve the situation when making a swaying movement.
