Magnum 4

Designed for professional pilots, easy to fly with a short ground roll, improved glide and speed, perfect for commercial tandem paragliding operations.

 

Overall, the significant amount of technology inherent in the Magnum 4 has made tandem flying the easiest and least technical we've ever experienced. The simplicity and low-stress nature of takeoff, flight, and landing have brought a new level of joy and comfort to our tandem flights, and we look forward to hearing professional pilots' feedback on this new design.

THE PROFESSIONAL TANDEM CHOICE
The Magnum is the all-new tandem wing designed for professional tandem pilots. Robust and versatile for any pro pilot, it excels in all conditions.

Used by professional tandem pilots worldwide.
Easy to take off and land.
Maneuverable, handling comparable to a solo wing.
Durable design and materials.
We tested this new tandem wing at various sites to ensure it's suitable for all types of flight. It takes off very well in no wind and climbs smoothly in strong winds. In flight, its pitch and roll stability ensure a comfortable ride, and its characteristic OZONE handling is characteristic, ensuring precise and dynamic handling.

Fewer diagonals and more attachment points allow for a more balanced load distribution across the wing. Its 5.11 aspect ratio and 46 cells provide impeccable surface finish and excellent performance, while maintaining easy inflation and limited wing weight. The Magnum's profile is newly designed, created specifically to meet the demands of tandem flight. Its planform and internal wing pressure have also been designed to achieve pleasant control tension, easy takeoffs, and performance.

The Magnum's fabric is made entirely of Porcher Marine; the upper surface is made of the new Porcher Skytex 45 Evolution. This new material is extremely resistant to wear and stretch, creating a feeling of greater precision in flight and ensuring the wing's longevity.

“This is the best tandem I've ever flown. Its handling is amazing, but its best feature is undoubtedly its ease of takeoff and landing. I haven't missed one yet, even in the most turbulent conditions here in India!”
John Silvester, somewhere in the Himalayas.

DESIGNER'S NOTES
THE CONCEPT
The Magnum is a completely new design and has little in common with our previous tandem wings. The Magnum's mission is to provide the ease of use, performance, durability, and excellent handling that professional tandem pilots value so highly.

Professionals need a wing that makes their job easier. The wing must be progressive during inflation, with little pitch and the best possible flare to land easily even in the worst conditions. These attributes are crucial, but we wanted to go a step further and add performance and maneuverability to make the Magnum the absolute must-have wing for professionals. Feedback is that the Magnum is the easiest, most enjoyable, and maneuverable tandem on the market, and after a year of launch, its sales continue to grow, which says it all...

Its other asset is its durability to ensure professional use. The wing's planform and the materials used were chosen to ensure the Magnum performs well for many seasons of professional use.

NEW FEATURES
This is a completely new wing. The profile we use was specifically developed for the Magnum. More than a year of testing was required to achieve the results we wanted: pitch stability for progressive inflation and easy landing, solid performance, and reduced control tension.

The new internal structure prevents wing deformation for greater performance and longer life. There are therefore more line attachment points on the wing to allow for less stress on each line and mechanically less tension on each attachment and bulkhead. All the wing's cells are reinforced with diagonals, completing the load distribution system.

Upper surface: Skytex 45 Evolution for two reasons:
1. Skytex fabric is lighter: this is an important factor when you regularly carry a tandem, as well as for the wing's behavior in flight.
2. It is also a rigid fabric, which means less deformation of the fabric and greater durability. This also means more pleasant handling and easier turning.

The Magnum (41m²) is smaller than our previous tandems. We chose to reduce the size to achieve a lighter wing, a more pleasant control feel, and better maneuverability. Its smaller size is one of the factors that gives the Magnum almost the same feel as a solo wing. Performance has not been sacrificed in

achieving this size reduction thanks to the all-new profile.

4 more cells for a well-finished wing.

A greater aspect ratio, from 4.7 for the McDaddy to 5.1 for the Magnum.

40 m of line reduction.

Reduced internal pressure and better balance across the wingspan, which led to lighter control pressure and a smoother feel in the air.
