Description
Flight chracteristics
The narrow, dimensionally stable risers and the user-friendly line setup ensure effortless ground handling. Additionally, internally sewn seams on the mini ribs enhance the glider’s durability and longevity – a clear advantage for ground handling and launch preparations. During inflation, the canopy rises steadily and evenly above the pilot, ensuring a precise, safe, and relaxed take-off.
The direct handling allows for precisely controlled bank angles, making dynamic flight maneuvers like wingovers a true pleasure. Wing loading plays a crucial role in flight behavior. The ARAK AIR2 has been designed in such a way that it is also ideal for progressing pilots in the medium to lower weight range and provides a safe, balanced flying experience. Pilots who prefer a more dynamic performance can also fly the wing above the recommended weight range for an even more agile handling experience. In weak thermal conditions, the glider requires a bit more finesse but rewards the pilot with maximum flying fun.
The initially light brake pressure increases linearly and becomes noticeably firmer before the stall point. Thanks to its progressive handling, the wing remains fully controllable at all times and conveys a high level of safety. Its intuitive flight behavior allows for precise control even in demanding conditions, ensuring a safe yet exciting flying fun.
Thanks to its smoothness and intuitive handling, the ARAK AIR2 performance can be easily accessed. With the SPEED CONTROL, the wing can now also be controlled directly via the risers in accelerated flight, ensuring efficient and safe speed control.
More performance, easier handling. Compared to its predecessor, the ARAK AIR2 features an optimized design and advanced manufacturing techniques, resulting in a noticeable increase in performance while maintaining an even easier flight characteristic. Enhanced passive safety and forgiving climb behavior allow for effortless and efficient thermalling, even in demanding conditions, delivering a carefree, high-performance, and enjoyable flying experience.
JET FLAPS
Our JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.
MINI RIBS
Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.
C-WIRES
Nitinol wires sewn into the glider over the anchor points of the C-level lines. Advantages: better load distribution, reduced drag, more performance.
SMART LINK SYSTEM
Color coded seams on the risers to ensure that the risers are connected correctly and without being twisted. red = left; blue = right
SHARK NOSE
Together with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.
3D-SHAPING
A precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.
RIGID FOIL
The Rigid Foil Nylon and Nitinol wires on the leading edge help maintain its shape and ensure constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better take-off behavior, more performance and lower canopy weight.
SPEED CONTROL
Riser steering system which allows the pilot to even out turbulence, speed and pitch while flying on speed bar without having to release the speed bar.
SAND RELEASE SYSTEM 2.0
Porous openings of the profile ribs at the trailing edge ensure that sand and dirt in the glider are automatically guided to the wingtip where they can trickle out. This helps preserve the material and relieves the trailing edge.
