Effortless Handling with Predictable Behavior

Right from inflation, the ARCUS 2 RS impresses with its docile yet agile nature. Since it uses RAST (Reinforced Air Structure Technology), canopy pressure remains more consistent. As a result, the glider provides extra stability during collapses and delivers easier recovery in turbulent conditions. This safety feature inspires beginners and transitioning pilots alike.

Even during thermic conditions, the ARCUS 2 RS remains calm and manageable. Therefore, you can focus on developing flying techniques without being overwhelmed. Additionally, brake input feels crisp and responsive, enhancing pilot control through every turn.

Swing Arcus 2 RS Lightweight and Durable Design

Engineered with modern materials, the ARCUS 2 RS is lightweight for its class. Yet, it remains robust enough for regular use. Furthermore, its efficient line setup minimizes drag, which ultimately boosts glide and reduces complexity. Whether on foot-launch or towing, it adjusts seamlessly to your preferred flying style.


✨ Key Features of the SWING ARCUS 2 RS

🚁 Confidence for Every Flight

Reliable Performance at All Levels

Whether you’re on your third flight or your hundredth, the ARCUS 2 RS grows with you. Since its handling is both playful and predictable, it fosters steady skill development. Additionally, its smooth stall characteristics and manageable behavior during asymmetric inputs make it a perfect platform for progression.

Moreover, pilots flying in changing conditions will appreciate how the glider responds without sudden surprises. Thus, it becomes a go-to choice for those who value consistent performance across various locations and air conditions.

Swing Arcus 2 RS Inclusive and Empowering by Design

SWING understands that flying should be accessible to everyone. That’s why the ARCUS 2 RS comes in a full range of sizes, accommodating different body types and wing load preferences. Because of this inclusivity, more people can safely experience the freedom of flight. Consequently, your journey into the skies becomes not only achievable but truly enjoyable.

Not only does it fly well, but it also teaches effectively—turning every flight into a lesson and every lesson into progress.

Start your next chapter in paragliding with a wing that truly supports your passion. Choose the ARCUS 2 RS and experience freedom, flight, and the future—all in one glide.

Swing Arcus 2 RS Paraglider

The ARCUS 2 RS is based on the very successful and proven NYOS RS. With a little less aspect ratio, a new, resilient material mix and a lot of attention to detail, we have completely revised the design and adapted it to pilots who feel most comfortable in the mid-B segment. With a full 57 cells, the elegant wing already visually underlines its performance claim, but the compact flight feeling immediately conveys familiarity with a high feel-good factor and promises pure flying fun.

Achieving new levels of flying without overreaching yourself – that was precisely our goal in developing the ARCUS 2 RS.

  • Powerful mid-level B wing with 57 cells

  • Durable and lightweight material mix

  • RAST for more control and comfort

Swing Arcus 2 RS Features

RAST – Maximum Control

On paragliders with RAST® the canopy is divided into different internal pressurized sections by one or more fabric panels, some with valves running crossways to the direction of flight. This makes it possible to influence the air flows within the canopy.

With RAST, the air equalisation flows within the paraglider canopy can be regulated through defined openings. This applies both when filling,(during take-off) and when emptying. In the case of pressure loss, e.g. caused by canopy collapse in turbulent air, the relative internal pressure of the CORE section increases, while the BUFFER section absorbs the introduced energy by deformation. Furthermore, RAST can be used as an additional support to the leading and trailing edge, which has a positive effect on flight comfort. As RAST connects the ribs over the entire profile height, the construction has a stiffening effect and reinforcements and/or stiffening elements can be saved or even completely replaced by this special construction method.

In the ARCUS 2 RS, RAST has been optimised for the following characteristics:

  • Smooth flight and maximum control in demanding conditions
  • High canopy stability even at maximum speed

 

Nitinol Wires – minimum weight with maximum profile stability

Nitinol is a high strength, temperature, and corrosion resistant, shape-memory alloy. The name Nitinol is an acronym for Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory. SWING has long been one of the first paraglider manufacturers to use this material, mainly known for its use in medical technology, as a nose reinforcement in paraglider construction.

For paraglider models where weight reduction is not the top priority, we have inserted the Nitinol reinforcements into nylon tubes. This increases the cross-section – and thus the contact area for the upper sail material – without having to forego the positive properties (resistance to buckling, length and shape stability) of the memory material. This leads to an improvement in the longevity of the glider.

Mini ribs – homogeneous trailing edge

Ballooning at the trailing edge of a paraglider has a significant influence on performance, control pressure, and handling. Mini ribs halve the cell spacing in this area and thus reduce ballooning to give a uniform trailing edge.

Swing Arcus 2 RS The highlight:

The seams of the mini ribs run on the inside of the upper sail so that even during launches on the unfavorable ground, no threads can get caught on the ground and be pulled out.

3D Shaping – optimized aerodynamics

The targeted control of tension by 3D shaping at the leading edge of the upper sail has become standard in paraglider construction. This is in order to make the airflow-relevant areas as crease-free as possible. Depending on the model, 3D shaping is either single or double in its construction. We have supplemented the standard shaping with another 3D shaping at the leading edge to optimize the aerodynamic effect of the mini ribs.

Coloured Riser Connections

To avoid mistakes when attaching the harness, the attachment loops are colour-coded. This means you can see at a glance whether the risers are correctly attached to the harness.
