Hercules 3 Paratrike Wing

Hercules 3

The SOL Hercules 3 opens a new generation of paratrike wings, designed to support high loads, tandem flying and intensive use with a wide safety margin. Developed on a completely new platform, it offers greater stability, precise control and efficiency, even in heavy configurations or at higher speeds.

Available in three sizes, the Hercules 3 covers different weight combinations, trike types and usage profiles, from schools and commercial operations to pilots seeking maximum safety and performance under high loads.

On the ground, the Hercules 3 offers progressive and controlled inflation, ideal for heavier trikes. Even in light wind, it rises in a stable and aligned way, allowing safe and predictable operation.

In flight, it stands out for stability, reducing oscillations and allowing long, comfortable navigation. Its development prioritised structural robustness, optimisation of the reflex profile and predictable behaviour in every phase of flight, from take-off to landing, including high-speed flight.

The result is a balanced wing that delivers confidence, refined control and superior performance for professional pilots, schools and commercial operations.

Highlights and Differences from the Hercules 2

• New riser with progressivity on A, B, C1 and C2.
• Low-turbulence wingtips.
• New high-precision finish.
• New reflex geometry for high loads.
• More efficient air intakes.
• 2D dual brake system.
• Optimised line plan.
• Reinforced internal structure.
• Higher speed.

Technologies

The Hercules 3 paratrike wing incorporates SOL's latest technologies and solutions for paramotor wings, including a more aerodynamic stabiliser, a higher-performance reflex profile with greater stability, and a dual brake system that improves turning performance.

With every new product, SOL works to reduce environmental impact, whether through more sustainable materials and processes or by directing waste into new products and suitable reuse streams.

Technical Data
