The company's sole product is the Swing-Europe Parashell, also just called Das Trike (English: the trike), which was designed by Münzer in the early 2000s. The aircraft is a single-seat powered parachute that has an unusual composite material cockpit fairing. The design was described by reviewer Jean-Pierre le Camus in 2003, as "beautiful" and having "visual flair".[1]
