CHARLY TARGETcross HG

Delivery time: Currently unavailable
The CHARLY TARGETcross HG is a modern cross canopy characterized by fast opening speed and high pendulum stability. High-quality materials, especially the waterproof ultra-light silk and Dyneema lines, guarantee minimal weight and packing volume.
The TARGETcross owes its special flight characteristics to the elaborate manufacturing with different line lengths. Although this makes the packing procedure of the TARGETcross somewhat different from that of a conventional cross canopy, it is not more complicated.
Its S-shaped canopy trim provides a high righting moment, so that the TARGETcross is in a stall for a short time imediately after opening. This reliably prevents a downplane position of the reserve.
The sinking of the TARGETcross during stall corresponds to that of a conventional cross canopy. The then beginning forward movement in the direction of the red marked corner further reduces the sink rate significantly.
- Extremely low sink rates due to the lateral drift in diagonal direction and high pendulum stability thanks to the S-shaped canopy trim
- Due to different line lengths, the base of the TARGETcross is fanned out in a zigzag pattern. This significantly accelerates the air intake into the canopy.
- Weight and pack size optimized thanks to high-strength lightweight fabric and premium Dyneema line material
- The inner container has been developed on the G-Force Trainer and features an extra compartment for the lines for easy deployments and reduction of entanglements

- Flat inner container shape - All CHARLY reserves are equipped with the special CHARLY flat inner container, which makes pulling out of the reserve compartment in the harness much easier and quicker.
- Short connection between deployment handle and inner container - The longer the connection, the more difficult it is to throw the inner container in a certain direction.
- Unobstructed opening - The inner container should be designed in such a way that the canopy is only released after the lines have been fully stretched. The CHARLY inner containers ensure this by a separate compartment for the lines. This reduces the risk of the canopy getting caught in the glider. Opening speed is only marginally affected.
- Opening speed - After the lines are fully stretched, the canopy should inflate as fast as possible. The decisive factor for a short opening time is the air intake at the canopy base, whereby cross canopies generally have an advantage over round canopies. However, the ideal solution in this regard is the specially fanned-out base of the DIAMONDcross which is achieved by different line lengths.
- Sink rate in relation to max. load according to the certification - It is important to know that in the certification process, sink rates are determined without the glider. However, sink rates may be higher due to interactions with the glider. The maximum permissible sink rate of 6.8 m/s already poses a considerable risk of injury. Therefore, canopies with a higher max. load are recommended.
- Pendulum stability - With the appropriate design, also round canopies can have a good pendulum stability. Generally superior in this regard, however, are canopies with lateral drift, with those with defined lateral drift in one direction being the optimum.
- Fabric quality - Low weight and small packing dimensions with high max. loads and sufficient robustness are made possible by the use of ultra-fine woven fabrics. The weaving process of such fabrics is very time-consuming and complex, which makes them expensive.
