Design and technical highlights of the SWING ARCUS RS
RAST with additional valve flaps for a uniquely soft yet stable feeling while flying in turbulence, outstanding launch features and unequalled stability if there are canopy problems
triple 3D-shaping on top surface and 3D-shaping on bottom surface allow perfect control over tension and the profile
mini-ribs on the trailing edge with internal seams and additional 3D-shaping
high-quality lightweight construction with carefully selected combination of materials and elaborate design of internal ribs and cross-ports
highest quality standards in manufacturing: the stitched-in V-ribs, for example, retain the shape of the valuable wing and ensure maximum service life
optimised canopy tension
latest calculation and simulation methods
reefing brake at the trailing edge for agile handling with excellent turning properties
