Specs Sheet.
The body of the DFS Trike is constructed with ACCT© (Advance Composite Construction Technology).   Materials like Kevlar, Polyester and Carbon are why this aircraft is so very durable and strong  yet surprisingly light weight!   The aerodynamic design promotes a superior gliding performance with minimum drag.

ACCT (Advance Composite Construction Technology)

 

Space Age Technology

The DFS Single and Dual are both made with high quality fiberglass, kevlar, carbon, and metal parts, with seamless high pressure tubing and Aircraft 4130 chromoly steel. All metal painted with Special Powder Coating, (click here to learn more about Powder Coating). All bolts and nuts are AN aircraft type. Sail made with Dacron and Mylar for the Gliders, and Special Skytex Marine Nylon with dinyma or kevlar Lines for the Paraglider/parachutes that were tested (paraglider and parachute) for extra durability and strength. All of our chutes for the DFS units have been tested according to the European certification standards for safety, DHV, ACPUL, or AFNOR! Our fiberglass/Kevlar/Carbon/Steel construction is stronger than any other trike or PPC that is on the market today. We estimated it to be 10 times stronger than aluminum made frames (with our ACCT special construction) that is more protection from any other trike or PPC out there. The DFS is mostly hand made, it takes time and effort to build this beautiful plane, but it's worth it! .
