The UP Sherpa Bi is a German two-place paraglider that was designed and produced by UP Europe of Kochel am See. Introduced in 2001, production of the second generation model Sherpa 2 ended in 2007.[1]
The aircraft was designed as a tandem glider for flight training and as such was referred to as the Sherpa Bi, indicating "bi-place" or two seater.[1][2]
The Sherpa went through two generations of models, the Sherpa and Sherpa 2.[1][2][3][4]
The Sherpa's sail was made from Porsher Marine New Skytex and its lines were fabricated from Cousin Trestec Super Aramid.[2]
