SWING HELIOS RS

Swing HELIOS RS – Lightweight Power for Ambitious Pilots

The Swing HELIOS RS offers an unmatched fusion of minimal weight, maximum performance, and dependable safety—making it an exceptional choice for hike-and-fly enthusiasts and alpine explorers. Designed with high-performance in mind, yet tuned to deliver confidence at every level, the HELIOS RS is more than a wing. It’s your launchpad into higher, longer, and freer flying.

Thanks to its integration of RAST technology, the HELIOS RS enables stable launches in demanding conditions. Therefore, even during gusty takeoffs, pilots experience smooth inflation and immediate control. Because of this feature, every moment under canopy becomes more predictable and enjoyable.

🏔️ Swing HELIOS RS Engineered for Hike-and-Fly Adventures

Ultra-Lightweight Without Sacrificing Structure

Although extremely light, the HELIOS RS remains structurally sound through smart internal tensioning and material choices. Consequently, it’s compact enough to carry on any hike, yet durable enough to withstand challenging environments. In fact, this blend of strength and agility makes it a go-to for ambitious adventures.

Moreover, with reduced pack volume and responsive inflation characteristics, it encourages spontaneous launches from technical spots. Therefore, it’s a top choice for pilots prioritizing both convenience and capability.

Confidence in Thermal and Turbulence

Because alpine conditions can be unpredictable, the HELIOS RS has been carefully engineered for dynamic air. Its profile reacts predictably to input, even in sharp thermals or rough transitions. Furthermore, it maintains internal pressure effectively, leading to less canopy deformation. As a result, control remains intuitive throughout the flight.

Due to its highly responsive handling and strong pitch stability, navigating long-distance lines feels more like a glide than a battle. Plus, its EN-C certification means performance meets safety without compromise.

🚀 Elevate Every Flight Experience

Built for the Ambitious and Adventurous

Whether you’re pushing limits in remote regions or simply chasing sunset thermals, the Swing HELIOS RS supports your journey. Not only does it enhance efficiency, but it also allows for more flight hours with less effort. Additionally, pilots can rely on it for smooth ridge soaring, precise thermalling, and confident gliding.

Because long ascents shouldn’t come with trade-offs, the HELIOS RS ensures high performance doesn’t mean high weight. Thus, it empowers pilots to redefine what’s possible.

A Wing That Grows with You

If you’re progressing from EN-B to EN-C, this wing offers a natural step forward. Since it balances intuitive handling with demanding performance, pilots can expand their skills confidently. Furthermore, each flight becomes a lesson in precision, stability, and elevation.

🌈 Designed for Every Ambition

The Swing HELIOS RS redefines what a lightweight wing can do. Because it marries precision engineering with inclusive usability, it creates an opportunity for every pilot to rise—both figuratively and literally.

Whether flying for freedom, progression, or pure joy, this wing is ready for whatever comes next. Therefore, take your gear to new heights. The HELIOS RS will carry you there—lightly, efficiently, and safely.

Swing HELIOS RS …the spirit of cross country!

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.Swing HELIOS RS

In the Helios RS, RAST® has been optimized for the following properties:

• Maximum control and stability in turbulence
• High canopy stiffness with reduced internal volume
• Easy launch behavior
