The Apco Prima (English: first) is an Israeli single-place, paraglider that was designed and produced by Apco Aviation of Caesarea. It has been in production since the early 1990s and remained in production through 2016.[1][2]
The Prima was designed as a beginner glider for use in flight training of students for both gliding and paramotor flying.[1][2]
The glider is made from Gelvenor 42 g/m2 "Zero Porosity" ripstop nylon.[2]
The design has progressed through four generations of models, the Prima, Prima 2, 3 and 4, each improving on the last. The Prima 4 incorporates leading edge battens and an improved landing flare capability. The models are each named for their rough wing area in square metres.[1][2]
