Dual 3 EN/LTF-B

Dual 3 EN/LTF-B Tandem Paraglider – Precision Meets Freedom

Redefining Tandem Flights with the Dual 3 EN/LTF-B

Welcome to the revolution in tandem paragliding: the Dual 3 EN/LTF-B. This high-performance wing sets a new standard for two-seater flight. It is not just a product; it’s a precision-crafted experience designed for professionals and recreational pilots alike.

Every detail of the Dual 3 reflects thoughtful engineering, aerodynamic evolution, and a vision for limitless adventure. Whether you’re a commercial tandem pilot flying daily or an experienced enthusiast seeking flawless takeoffs, this paraglider guarantees both reliability and responsiveness.

Dual 3 EN/LTF-B A Leap Ahead in Tandem Technology

Evolved from Excellence

Born from the globally respected Dual 2 platform, the Dual 3 EN/LTF-B isn’t merely an upgrade—it’s a complete reinvention. It brings a refined trim, reshaped airfoil, and smoother inflation dynamics. It also introduces design elements inspired by high-end solo gliders while preserving the stability required for tandem operations.

Dual 3 EN/LTF-B Perfect Balance of Performance and Safety

Why compromise? The Dual 3 manages to boost performance without losing the inherent passive safety tandem pilots demand. This balance ensures precise handling in thermal climbs while offering forgiving behavior during rough conditions.

Design Features That Make the Difference

Exceptional Takeoff and Landing Behavior

Takeoffs can make or break a tandem flight, especially in challenging environments. Thanks to its light sail construction and optimized internal pressure distribution, the Dual 3 EN/LTF-B inflates effortlessly and climbs with minimal pilot input. Furthermore, landings feel smooth and controllable—even in tight LZs or strong wind scenarios.

Tailored Trim Range

The glider features a longer, refined trim range that adapts to your flying style. From calm soaring to aggressive descents, the Dual 3 lets you adjust speed and glide to your exact preferences. Additionally, the trimmer system works seamlessly with the wing’s reflex profile, increasing pitch stability during accelerated flight.

Engineered for the Pilot–Passenger Dynamic

True Tandem Harmony

While many tandem wings compromise either pilot comfort or passenger safety, the Dual 3 EN/LTF-B harmonizes both. It responds to pilot input with agility while damping turbulence to maintain passenger comfort. Turning becomes intuitive, and transitions between thermals feel smooth.

Dual 3 EN/LTF-B Low Pilot Fatigue for Long Days

Long days in the air can wear on any pilot. However, the Dual 3 has been crafted to reduce brake pressure and improve weight distribution, minimizing physical strain. As a result, you can fly more sorties per day with less exhaustion—maximizing your fun or your revenue.

Dual 3 EN/LTF-B Craftsmanship in Every Fiber

Next-Gen Materials

Built from Porcher Skytex 38 and 32g/m² cloth, the Dual 3 boasts incredible durability and low weight. This blend ensures a robust structure while also reducing total glider weight—enhancing handling, launch characteristics, and even storage.

Optimized Line Layout

The line plan has been simplified to reduce drag while maintaining redundancy. Fewer lines mean less hassle on the ground, reduced risk of snagging, and noticeably improved performance in the air.
