Details
Design and technical highlights of the 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
