Apogee "FLASH" wings

General Information.

Apogee 14 Flash is the result of more than 2 years of design, prototype tests and improvement, introduced in 2020. Apogee 12 was created one year later. Apogee 11 Flash is the youngest and fastest Apogee wing, available from the beginning of 2023 Apogee hangliders and trike wings are in production from 1986, more than 34 years. Their chief designer and test pilot is a very experienced and successful hangglider sportsman-pilot Vlad Mysenko. Wings are manufactured in cooperation with "Rotor" design bureau at Kamov helicopter plant. The main idea was to create a new modern wing with not only excellent flying performances - high speed range, turbulence handling, high efficiency and gliding ratio, but the same time the wing friendly and comfortable for average skills pilots, not only experts. New sail design and materials, new airfoil distribution, new frame geometry, new optional dual inflight trim system� it is done!

The beautiful Apogee �Flash� is designed for two place Light Sport, Ultralight, Experimental aircraft. The wing can be used for competitions, cross-country, flight schools, fun flying and work - crop spraying, aerial patrolling etc. Strutted wing folds back while mounted on the trike. This is a very useful feature for parking your aircraft outside or inside a hangar between flights and for trailer transport. Every wing is tested in flight and tuned at the factory, then packed for overseas delivery.

Apogee �Flash� can be ordered in different variants. For example, it can be made strutted (more popular in North America) and cable braced. The best Polyant Dacron or reinforced sail laminates and Sewing Thread with life time warranty against UV degradation are used for upper surface. The trailing edge can be classical and cordless with different type of batten end furniture. Teardrop shaped Struts and Downtubes is a standard. 1 or 2 electric trim mechanisms can be added as options. The first one is used for Hangblock movement. The second one is used for in-flight crossbar tension adjustment. The result is wider speed range and easier handling at low speed (takeoff, landing). 3 different downtube length, different hangblocks, so the wing can be adapted to almost any existing trike.

New DeLuxe versions of these wings are available with Carbon and Kevlar reinforced clear laminates both upper and lower surface. This option is usually available only for high-end sport hanggliders. Flash-Mini 12 and 11 prototypes for 250-300 kg or 550-650 LB MTOW are ready and flying.

Look at some pictures of these wings on different trikes and with different colors. Click on them to enlarge:

Maximal takeoff weight for Apogee �Flash� standard is 1090 lb (495 kg) and 1210 lb (550 kg) for the reinforced structure. We know about 3-placers and heavy duty agro crop sprayers successfully flying with reinforced �Flash� with almost 600 kg (1300 LB) MTOW (Not recommended by the wing manufacturer). The structure is made with 2024 and 7075 aviation aluminum tubes, hardly anodized. 2024-T3 material is more strong than less expensive 606-T6 used by most other trike wing manufacturers. Excellent wing for pilots decided to improve your existing trikes, as well as Amater homebuilders.
The wing was tested by positive and negative static loading. Pictures below. You can see the real load of 2834 kg (6240 lb) on a scale. The structure is not broken. Impressive result!

Aeros wings.

Air Trikes is Aeros distributor for USA & Canada. We sell Aeros trikes and wings, spare parts. We will help you with the right wing choice, installation a new wing to your trike, upgrade your wing with new sail, electric trim etc.

There are 7 different wings for 2-place trikes. They are single and double surface, cable-braced and strutted. Wings can be ordered with dacron or laminate upper surface, with tips-winglets, navigation light on tips and many other options. Highest quality and very attractive prices. For example the most advanced Profi TL with winglets, laminate upper sail and trim (left picture) is able to fly 100+ mph on my RW-50 trike with 100HP Suzuki G13bb. If you want to know more about Aeros wings - click HERE .
Interest to light single seat trikes is growing very fast all around the world. There are 7 wings for Nanolight (Microlight or Soaring) trikes. Top of the line are Combat_T (right picture) and Nine. More info about Nano wings HERE.

Electric trim kit.

General Information.

The trike wing electric trim was designed for changing the wing hangblock position in flight. It allows changing the trike hands-off speed in flight and takes excessive load from pilot�s hands. This makes the trike flying more comfortable, increase useable speed range and makes flight control more precise. It also allows tuning your wing faster and more accurate. Air Trikes uses this electric trim system as a direct replacement of Aeros trim for Aeros wings, as well as with other brands of trike wings. This is a very efficient system. For example it allows me to change Profi TL hands-off speed from 50 to 80 MPH. I can't imagine flying my trikes without it.

Two short videos showing the trim kit with Profi TL wing in flight and to X-14 wing with French 1 hangblock type.

Specifications.

Weight: 2 lb Voltage: 11-14V DC Amperage: 0.5-3amp (depends on loading) Push-pull force max: 300Lb Static loading max: 400lb Average speed: �� per sec. Length: 8� between holes, 14�for Aeros wings (elongation can be ordered). Travel: 4� (with internal kill switch both sides)

The electric trim kit consists of linear electric motor (servo), control switch, installation hardwere and instruction. Custom made installation brackets and parts can be used for different wings and trike hangblocks if necessary.

"Apogee 16 and 14 wings"

General Information.

Apogee 16 is a high efficiency and gliding ratio double-surface trike wing. It was designed by well known Russian HG and trike wing designer, successful sportsman-pilot Vlad Mysenko. 400+ wings has been produced in cooperation with "Rotor" design bureau at Kamov helicopter plant. Used with many trikes. In production as a part of Ural-Apogee trike and trike kit. Its unique feature - it comes in a short package (about 7') so its overseas delivery is not so expensive as for other European wings. Used materials - German Polyant dacron and trilam, certified aviation hard anodised tubing, cables and hardware. Teardrop shaped A-frame and kingpost is a standard. It is the best quality/price ratio wing at the market. Can be used for light float trikes. I tested Ural with Apogee 16 and can say - this is a very good flyer.

Every wing is ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY, TESTED IN FLIGHT then disassembled in 7� long package for overseas delivery. All you need is a set of wrenches to assemble it. If you build an Experimental-Amateur Built trike, the wing building will be credited to your 51% work. If wou want, you even can order a partially finished kit, for example without battens and (or) cables. There are WING STRUCTURE and WING SAIL DRAWINGS Builder's help in any form. Another good feature of this wing - it can be transported inside your car, minivan or track. It is very easy to store this wing, it takes almost no space. Look at some pictures of this wing:

This are the pictures of Apogee 16 wing assembling-flying (standard tests made by the factory test pilot)

There is a step-by-step manual with pictures how to assemble this wing from 7 feet kit to ready-to-fly form, and then from ready-to-fly to 20 feet transportation bag
