Info
The TYPHOON is an intermediate PPG wing, for pilots who are looking for accessible performance and a stable yet sporty ride. Its light sail makes for a very easy launch, especially in light-wind conditions, and it’s the perfect, go-anywhere adventure wing. An all-rounder it’s the perfect partner for cross-country exploration, dynamic carving, and weekend cruising – all wrapped with BGD’s signature handling and style.
The TYPHOON is a little bit sportier and a little bit faster than the BLIZZARD, and will be the choice of pilots with wide-ranging experience. Choose to fly a bit lower in the weight range for slightly more chilled reactions if you’re lighter on experience.

Target
Ready to ride out the calm and kick up some fun? The TYPHOON is a reflex progression wing for paramotor pilots who want to push further, fly faster, and add a little extra spice to their sky-time. With a 5.14 aspect ratio and three sizes (20, 23, 26), it’s designed for stable performance with a playful edge. The launch is a breeze. An easy inflation then it stabilises overhead and hangs out there happily till you’re ready to roll. The handling is crisp, and it’s trimmed for high energy while keeping that BGD ease and confidence. If you’re ready to stir up some air and keep climbing the skill ladder, it’s the perfect storm for intermediate pilots looking to level up.
Designer’s notes
The TYPHOON is easy to launch and forgiving to fly, but still wakes up your senses in the sky. The aspect ratio of 5.14 adds a touch of glide and precision, while the updated reflex profile keeps it rock-solid at speed. The trimmers have a 12cm range, with smooth brass roller-cams for durability and ease of use, and a speedbar system adds another 12cm of acceleration. Tip-steering toggles come as standard, and the risers are versatile with both high and low hangpoints. Launching is super clean and intuitive thanks to the solid nose and optimised line layout. Whether you’re cruising cross-country or carving around clouds, the Typhoon turns every flight into a joyride.
