The ULTIMATE Crossover Wing For Paramotoring & Paragliding:
GLIDE RATIO: 9.1 to 1
“Glide Ratio” is how many feet a Paraglider will travel forward for every foot down. The Velocity Core has a phenomenal Glide Ratio, making it one of the most efficient PPG & PG Wings available.
MEET THE CORE: Velocity Paragliders USA is excited to officially announce the NEW 2017 Core Paraglider! After many months of testing and feedback from Pilots across the nation, production of this new beginner / intermediate glider has begun. Call us to order your Velocity Core today! (Custom logo gliders for business/personal advertisement available – contact us for details!)
THE “CORE” PURPOSE: Velocity Paragliders – a division of BlackHawk – has seen tremendous success over the years with our “Edge” beginner paraglider. The Schools and Pilots around the world who have loved the Edge are going to be blown away by the design of the all-new Velocity Core. The Core takes learning Powered Paragliding to a whole new level – providing everything you could expect from a beginner-friendly glider, all the way up to intermediate-level Pilots!
ALL-NEW DESIGN: This glider was designed with quality and performance in mind with every single step of the construction process. The Core features Delron Battens in the leading edge for optimal durability and shape-retention. We’ve added “Split A’s” for easier launching & the ability to perform “Big Ears” or dissension from higher-altitude flights. The core is constructed from Dominico which is used in the Industry’s higher-performance gliders. This makes it lightweight and assures a long-lasting glider that Pilots can enjoy for many years to come.
FLYING THE CORE: Boasting an incredible 9:1 glide ratio, the efficiency of the core will quickly make it a standard or “go-to” glider in the Cross-Country PPG community. The combination of unbeatable flare-authority and profound energy-retaining characteristics will provide for extremely mellow landings. The Core is Velocity’s “easiest kiting glider ever produced” due to the features mentioned and will become a favorite among Schools or those just getting into the sport. The Core is suitable for beginners and will accommodate Intermediate Pilots who want to push the limits of their skills. Beautiful design, unmatched performance, and extreme durability… Now THAT’S getting to the “Core” of the sport and everything that Velocity Paragliders USA stands for.

IMPORTANT: In deciding which glider size is appropriate for you, these weight ranges DO NOT include Pilot body weight, weight of the glider, or the weight of your Paramotor Equipment! See the examples below of equipment averages to ensure you choose the proper glider size. Things like elevation and age also DO play a factor in sizing. Please talk to your Authorized BlackHawk Dealer or contact us with any questions prior to ordering your wing. BlackHawk is always here to help you maximize your Powered Paragliding experience with BlackHawk!
FOOT LAUNCH Example Calculations:
A Pilot Weighs: 170 lbs
AVERAGE PPG WITH Fuel: 70 lbs
AVERAGE Glider Weight: 15 lbs
TOTAL WEIGHT: 255 lbs
APPROPRIATE GLIDER = 28m² or 30m²
**Now, just look at the chart above to see which glider falls within the TOTAL weight. In this example, a size 28 or 30 would be appropriate. It’s better to be in the upper level of the weight range, so in the example calculations above, a 28 meter Core would be a good choice. If you are adding a Lite Trike to your unit, add an additional 35 lbs to your total. As stated, age, elevation, and even additional equipment can factor in, so if there are ANY questions, please contact us or your Authorized Dealer prior to purchasing.

THE CORE MAKES ITS DEBUT:
Team BlackHawk Pilots Fly Velocity’s Core in Mammoth:
Team BlackHawk Pilots headed up to approximately 8,000 ft. to Mammoth California on an epic Cross-Country Paramotor trip in September 2017. To their surprise, Mike Robinson of Velocity Paragliders USA brought various sizes of the brand new CORE Paraglider for Team Pilots to play with… And play they did! What a perfect environment to test Velocity’s newest high-performance EN-A* type Paraglider. High elevation, changing winds of varying speeds, Pilots of every weight and size, and many different BlackHawk motors. The consensus from this discriminating group of PPG fans? “This glider changes the game!” “My students are gonna love this glider!” “This thing flies it’s self… I love it” were just a few comments made by Pilots. The Velocity Core is going to replace Velocity’s best-selling Edge beginner Paraglider. There’s no looking back – the Core is a new “best” for Velocity and will allow those getting into the sport to experience Powered Paragliding in the way it was intended.
