SWING has been successfully developing paragliders since 1986 and is one of the pioneer manufacturers in the paragliding scene. In 1999, SWING succeeded in gaining market leadership and have been extending it since then. A company with a strong international orientation, working with 170 distributors in more than 48 countries and thus offering customers an extensive and efficient dealer network. Global thinking combined with local action allow world-wide flexibility in co-operation with capable partners. SWING is located 30 kilometers west of Munich, near the Bavarian Alps, giving it an ideal base.

Swing Axis 4 Paraglider $3500 - $3650                                                                                                    Return to top

A DHV 1 glider should be uncomplicated, but the Axis 4 offers more than a pure training glider. It has even simpler handling and higher safety margins than its predecessor. It also has a longer life expectancy - making it ideally suited for training! What’s more, the performance and dynamics of the AXIS 4 mean it is great fun to fly. In addition to these features, the Swing development team has achieved a glider with good aesthetics, which shows the high standards it sets for its own work.

A notable feature of the profile is its very low tendency to pitch forward. It has particularly simple and good-natured launch behavior and excellent properties in thermal flying. The late stall point and the progressive control pressure make the Axis 4 a particularly forgiving glider. This makes it perfect for beginners who are getting familiar with the control lines. Notwithstanding its DHV 1 rating, pilots can very quickly experience the pleasure of their first thermal and cross-country flying, given the AXIS 4’s relatively high level of agility.

The canopy structure of the Axis 4 has been completely redefined. The rounded openings on the bottom surface allow pilots to launch very easily even if conditions are somewhat unfavorable. Swing have reduced the overall line length by using a thinner material for the lines and adopting a new line geometry. This reduces drag and increases performance.

Quality is no accident. Consistent refinement of the computer programs in use at Swing makes  manufacturing methods more and more precise. This ensures the high profile accuracy and uniform stress distribution in the paraglider. The AXIS 4’s attractive and clean silhouette is the result of careful development work.

Swing Arcus 6 Paraglider $3650 - $3700                                                                                                Return to top

The success story of the Arcus range continues with the Arcus 6. Swing has retained the successful concept behind the original Arcus and transferred it to a completely new design. Like its predecessors, the Arcus 6 (unaccelerated) complies with the requirements for the LTF 1 class (German airworthiness standards). It is ultimately up to the pilot to decide whether to make the glider an LTF 1-2. Nevertheless, pilots need not go without the handling and high trim speed of the LTF 1-2 in unaccelerated flight.

The Arcus glider is and will continue to be the perfect all-round glider for more than 60% of paraglider pilots. It enjoys the praise of what is probably the biggest following in the paragliding scene. There is good reason why more than 10,000 Arcus gliders have been sold around the world. So our development team led by Michael Hartmann was even more excited about the challenge of improving on the predecessor with the Arcus 6. A total of 18 prototypes were fine tuned until the flight behavior satisfied the team’s demands and any remaining imperfections were ironed out.

Not only is the design new, but Swing has also broken new ground in the conversion of 3D computer models into 2D templates for production. Less sail tension in combination with the round air-entrances made it possible to design a canopy which is extremely smooth. Its harmonious profile, matched with an appealing and snappy design, emphasize the unique nature of the Arcus 6.

The Arcus 6 Compact is available on a special order basis.
