Had a look on their website. To me it appears as if their wings are not particular fast.

Hi,

I spoke to Jenya yesterday about the topless wing.
He e-mailed me this info:
Dear Arnulf
Thank you for you interest to our product.
Our new project: the topless wing Sprinter-TL or Stratos (US name)
is the development of our "normal"
wing Sprinter-15, which we make for our dealer in USA.
The first wing has been finished in December 2005.

It can be easy fit to Windlass/Aquilla. Actually it was idea from the
begining to make a topless wing for these trikes and it was tested on
Windlass trike (see pics).
The speed range is depending of the undecarriage you put wing on. With
Antares or Windlass it flies 30 - 85 mpl, With Raptor - 30 - 65 mpl.
The advantage of this wing is:
- less hight for hangarage,
- possibility to fold the wing on the trike,
- less drag, less fuel consumption (15%).
The cost is disadvantage of the wing:-). The price for now is R42,500
VAT incl.
You will find some pictures in attacment.

Concerning our Progect X, it is still under development.
Design is very special, the information wil be available a bit later.

If you have any questions please contact us.
Best regards,
Jenya.
