“The Hybrid's take-off and landing speed is lower than comparable wings, making it easier and safer”.
“In the air, the Hybrid is an ultra stable wing in terms of both roll and pitch” — with brake pressure “below anything you have ever tried”.
Not a reflex replacement but “perfect for cruising around, making the entire flight envelope easier, calmer and more enjoyable”.

The concept targets pilots who want to fly powered AND free with a single wing — from hike-and-fly to relaxed paramotoring.
Certification: EN-B in the free-flight configuration (unsheathed lines, risers without trimmers); all but two manoeuvres were rated EN-A. The paramotor configuration with sheathed lines is aerodynamically unchanged but sits outside the EN certification frame; per-size certificates are linked in the downloads section.
If you mainly fly free, choose the Hybrid (free-flight version); if you mainly fly powered, choose this one — converting between both configurations is possible.
First-hand impressions straight from the air.
Four sizes S–XL. PPG all-up weights per the data sheet: 70–95 / 85–110 / 100–125 / 115–140 kg; free flight 55–75 up to 100–120 kg.
All four sizes EN-B plus DGAC. Notably, per APCO: “with all but 2 manoeuvres rated EN-A”.
No — APCO explicitly: not intended to replace reflex wings, which excel at high speeds and in rough air. Instead: “perfect for cruising around, making the entire flight envelope easier, calmer and more enjoyable” — with slower, easier launch and landing.
Same wing — ex works with sheathed lines and motor risers with trimmers.
Hybrid models: 1 year / 100 hours, manufacturing defects only.
