APEV

APEV (Association pour la Promotion des Echelles Volantes, English: Association for the Promotion of Flying Ladders) is a French aircraft manufacturer, founded by Daniel Dalby in 1997 and based in Peynier. The organization specializes in the design and manufacture of very light and inexpensive homebuilt aircraft.

The original design, the Pouchel, was based upon the 1930s Henri Mignet-designed Mignet Pou-du-Ciel (Flying Flea), but constructed using three commercial household aluminium ladders to save construction time, cost and weight.

Further designs followed these, including the two seat Bipouchel and the Pouchel Classic.

Apco Prima

The Prima was introduced in 1993. Since then thousands have been delivered, probably the longest produced classic trainer – it is equally well suited for teaching free flying and perfect for entry level paramotoring.
This wing has been modernised with a 3rd version released. The wing is exactly the same as before, but has improved flare and adaptability for paramotor flying. The canopy is also more rigid (no tip movement), with redesigned, modern handling – direct and responsive in comparison with Prima II. To refresh and distinguish, Prima III has been dressed in a new color design.
The rest of Prima specifications remain the same. As always, produced from Gelvenor cloth combined with heavy duty lines, to ensure long lasting life.
The Prima III was designed for the beginner pilot with Big Ear and B-stall facilities, Split A’s, and a 3 Riser
system with accelerator
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.

Apco Bagheera

New in 1998, the Bagheera is a blend of the best of its predecessors from APCO designers, deriving its origins from two: TIGRA-embodying the well-proven top performance on the cutting edge of paraglider technology and FUTURA- with over 1000 gliders sold, evidence of unsurpassed record of safety and stability. With its vastly improved handling, Bagheera answers to the demands of most pilots. In order to meet the requirements of new Serial class competition rules, the Bagheera was re-certified in competition rigging configuration. The only difference between the Bagheera and the Bagheera comp is the type of line used. The Bagheera comp has unsheathed Aramid lines. The line lengths are all identical. The Bagheera has been certified Afnor Performance in all sizes with unsheathed comp lines.
