Dudek Synthesis

After successful experiments with Action and Reaction models, Piotr Dudek committed to a model that would allow pilots of any level security and efficiency with a simple classic.
The reflex profile has max speed of 61 km/h and trim speeds of 37-49 kph.
It is also suitable for training.

Dudek Reaction Paramotor

Based on the same proven reflex-wing concept of the popular PPG wing Action (from Dudek and Paramania), the ReAction is a technically improved and graphically renewed version aimed at advanced pilots. In comparison to its predecessor, the ReAction is a bit faster, inflates easier and has improved wing durability and ease of use. Like its ancestor, the Reaction features a self-stabilizing wing section that, in the case of a decrease in its angle of attack, automatically responds to compensate. “In other words it always stays neutral with regard to its load, so it’s tuck-resistant. The risers now have two suspension points (low and high) to adjust to the pilot’s harness/engine setup, and come with new trimmer buckles and exchangeable trimmer tapes. It has partially closed leading edge with 65 cells, an aspect ratio of 5,43, and top speed is 60 k/h, with 42-46 k/h trim speed, according to Dudek. It is also available in an ‘S’ version, equipped with non-sheathed lines in the upper rigging, and a trike version called “Reaction Cabrio” for a weight range of 150 to 300 kg. For foot-launch flight there are 4 sizes to choose from.

Afnor/CEN Performance

Dudek Reaction

After research ReAction was improved, so to distinguish it from the original, Dudek changed both name and logo of the wing to a Reaction TST.
ReAction TST features our Tip Steering Toggles system, designed to facilitate high speed flying. The risers have been modified and a scheme of split A’s was introduced, so that smooth inflation can be obtained much easier. Previous arrangement sometimes caused the wingtips to shoot up earlier than the centre, but now the margin for pilot error has been considerably widened.
ReAction is an technically improved and graphically renewed version of Action. It is based on the same proven reflex-wing concept. It features a self-stabilising wing section that, in the case of a decrease in its angle of attack, automatically responds to compensate, so it’s tuck-resistant.
In comparison to its predecessor, the ReAction is a bit faster, inflates easier and features a number of changes that improve wing durability and ease of use. The ReAction ‘S’ version is equipped with non-sheathed lines in the upper rigging.
The most significant changes in the Reaction TST are:

  • smoother trailing edge and overall better profile projection.
  • risers have new trimmer buckles and exchangeable trimmer tapes.
  • risers now have two suspension points to choose from (low and high, depending on pilot’s harness/engine setup).
  • the magnetic clips of the brake handles have been improved.
  • internal ribs and suspension points have been strengthened, making the wing even more durable.
  • the suspension line layout has been modified at the central part of the trailing edge.
  • in the ‘S’ version all upper gallery lines are made of non-sheathed Dyneema (overall drag reduction).
  • new set of colour schemes for the wing
    ReAction has passed the AFNOR Performance certificate.
    The ‘S’ version has passed additional strength tests due to the different kind of lines.
    The smallest and biggest ReAction sizes passed the CEN/AFNOR tests, where both qualified as Performance class. The 27 and 29 sizes obtained a double qualification (Standard/Performance).
    On ReActions 25 and 31 the test pilots managed to induce the frontstall with fully closed trims, something very hard to do in normal state of flight and practically impossible to happen on its own. The forced frontstall that occured was much deeper than in normal aerofoil wings, and because of that it opened longer than three seconds. That was the only reason for the Performance rating – in all other manoeuvres our ReAction conformed with the Standard class.
    In open trims configuration Performance rating was caused by the B-stall.

Dudek Nemo

NemoMoto is a multi-use wing to offer it at a high confidence. It should forgive occasional mistakes with good flight characteristics.
The NemoMoto allows you to fly with an engine. As a novice it, is forgiving to abrupt control movements.
The system’s simplicity allows the slings to make pre-flight checks quickly and easily. The wing construction uses simplified diagonaal ribs with Velcro at the ends of the wing, through which is very easy to remove accumulated debris.
Lines are Dyneema Ultimate, 1,1 & 1,5 & 1,9 & 2,5mm, and material is SkyTex Aquatic & SkyTex New.

Dudek Manta      

The Manta is a novice wing. Structural characteristics include diagonal ribs – suspension line after every three cells, to reduce drag and to improve L/D ratio, risers have a classical split A-line scheme, and a thick aerodynamic profile gurantees very low sink rate.
The Manta is for PPG pilots with little experience and who are looking for a good paraglider to enjoy flying with and without the paramotor
Lines are Dyneema Ultimate, diameters 1,1 & 1,3 & 1,9mm, and fabric is SkyTex Aquatic & SkyTex New.
