APCO F1

 F1 Introduction

The Fast One :: F1 – the pinnacle of achievement in technology, performance and feel. A precision tool that in the right hands will produce incomparable results. Our objectives were to produce the best performing high end cross country wing on the market. Safety was the first priority which framed all other parameters and we are extremely proud of the final result.

The F1 is in a class of its own! A cross country wing, intended for classic competitions – a fast, efficient flying machine, but yet as agile as a slalom wing when you want to play. Combining high aspect ratio with a full reflex profile results in performance and efficiency which are packaged into a very user friendly, coherent product that will take any experienced pilot to the next level!

Incorporated into the F1 is our Flow Aligned Ribs (FAR) feature, morphing direction from center to tip, it aligns the ribs with the natural direction of the flow, increasing both performance and stability throughout the speed range. The roll stability of the F1 is especially impressive, allowing for agile, precise handling.

The canopy incorporates 2 functional “3D cuts” for the best possible leading edge shape definition.
The canopy sail tension has been optimized to be a homogeneous unit, solid and reassuring in flight.

The riser / speed system / trim system was re-designed to incorporate all of Apco’s groundbreaking technologies, and has a greater usable range than any wing we have built before. The extensive speed range means you can launch and land at reasonable speeds, but can accelerate (speeds of up to 80 [km/hour]) with comfort during competition, or on the perfect long distance XC flight you’ve been dreaming about – but, be warned, unless your mates are on the F1 too, you will be flying alone!

With the trimmers closed, the F1 will thermal well, and has exceptional glide ratio (for a full reflex profile wing), so if you like to mix it up on a good day, idle or cut the motor and crank it up to cloudbase with ease.

Open the trimmers and enjoy a significant speed increase of approx. 15 [km/h] (without the use of the speed bar).
Choose the speed bar and the OAA system will allow you to accelerate to the maximum in one swift motion!

Construction – weight was saved wherever possible, bringing the weight down to as low as 4 [kg] while retaining APCO’s legendary durability. The low canopy mass, allowing surprisingly easy inflation, especially in nil wind take-offs.

Positioned as the top performing wing in our range, it will satisfy any experienced pilot who can settle for nothing but the best!

The Fast One :: F1——技術、性能和感覺的巔峰之作。正確使用的精密工具將產生無與倫比的結果。我們的目標是生產市場上性能最好的高端越野機翼。安全是所有其他參數的首要任務,我們對最終結果感到非常自豪。

F1 獨樹一幟!越野翼,專為經典比賽而設計 - 一種快速、高效的飛行器,但當您想要比賽時,它又像激流迴旋翼一樣敏捷。將高縱橫比與全反射輪廓相結合,可提高性能和效率,並將其打包成一個非常用戶友好、連貫的產品,將任何有經驗的飛行員帶到一個新的水平!

F1 結合了我們的流動對齊肋 (FAR) 功能,從中心到尖端的變形方向,它將肋與流動的自然方向對齊,在整個速度範圍內提高性能和穩定性。 F1 的滾動穩定性尤其令人印象深刻,可實現靈活、精確的操控。

頂篷包含 2 個功能性“3D 切割”,以獲得最佳的前緣形狀定義。

頂篷帆張力經過優化,成為一個均勻的單元,在飛行中堅固且令人放心。

立管/速度系統/配平系統經過重新設計,融合了 Apco 的所有突破性技術,並且比我們之前製造的任何機翼具有更大的可用範圍。廣泛的速度範圍意味著您可以以合理的速度起飛和著陸,但可以在比賽期間舒適地加速(速度高達 80 [公里/小時]),或者在您夢寐以求的完美長途 XC 飛行中 - 但是,請注意,除非您的隊友也在 F1 上,否則您將獨自飛行!

關閉修剪器後,F1 會很好地散熱,並且具有出色的滑翔比(對於全反射輪廓機翼),所以如果你想在天氣好的時候把它混起來,空轉或切斷電機,然後用舒適。

打開修剪器,享受大約 10 分鐘的顯著速度提升。 15 [km/h](不使用速度條)。

選擇速度條,OAA 系統將讓您在一個快速動作中加速到最大!

結構——盡可能減輕重量,將重量降至 4 [kg],同時保持 APCO 傳奇般的耐用性。低冠層質量,允許令人驚訝地容易充氣,尤其是在無風起飛時。

定位為我們系列中性能最好的機翼,它將滿足任何經驗豐富的飛行員,他們只能滿足於最好的!

 

Characteristics

TAKE OFF

Slower speed than you would expect for such a wing. Best results will be achieved with trimmers fully closed. All thanks to new highly efficient reflex profile.

起飛

速度比你想像的速度慢,trimmers完全關閉時可獲得最佳效果。這一切都要歸功於新的高效反射曲線。

LANDING

Approaches and flares like a competition class paraglider. With a highly efficient flare, that allows for gradual squeezing of all the speed/kinetic energy down to a soft landing.

降落
像競賽級滑翔傘一樣接近和耀斑。使用高效的耀斑,可以將所有速度/動能逐漸壓縮到軟著陸。

HANDLING

Accurate and extremely agile, with 2D Steering and Tip Steering, with great roll stability / self levelling at high speed!

搬運
精確且極其敏捷,具有 2D 轉向和尖端轉向,具有出色的側傾穩定性/高速自調平!

PERFORMANCE

High aspect ratio, high performance design with the highest, safe, speed increase from opening the trimmers.
The F1 is the weapon of choice for the XC / competition Warriors.

性能

高縱橫比、高性能設計,從打開修邊機時可實現最高、安全的速度提升。

F1 是 XC / 競賽勇士的首選武器。

PILOT FEEDBACK

“I’ve flown them all, and this wing, beats them all, in every aspect…
I could not stop smiling, and didn’t want to land nor return the prototype I had the opportunity to test fly…
Order for mine is in…”

飛行員反饋

“我都飛過它們,而這個機翼在各個方面都擊敗了它們……

我無法停止微笑,不想降落也不想返回我有機會試飛的原型……

我的訂單在……”

 

CONSTRUCTION

LIGHT – big weight saving choosing lighter materials for the bottom surface and ribs. Top surface incorporates our legendary double siliconized cloth for maximum durability.

施工

LIGHT – 為底面和肋條選擇較輕的材料,大大減輕重量。頂部表面採用我們傳奇的雙矽化布

,以實現最大的耐用性。
