PAMPACAT PARAWING
Laboratori d'envol and CZWings present a new prototype parawing, designed in Catalonia and built in La Pampa: "PampaCat Parawing."

This rogallo parachute of 45 m2, has been designed from the original information from NASA, published around 1970 and resuming the project. The project aims to explore the possibilities of designing and building prototypes of free flight, linking synergies, know-how and possibilities to either side of the Atlantic.

It is a very simple design, unpretentious because it expects a glide up to 2.4, and for use in small glides in sufficiently inclined dunes, and tows at low altitudes.
