The Skywalk Arak Air’s easy handling and high performance potential, enables flights beyond the 300 km mark. The Arak Air is a special edition of the Arak series, combining the concept of the Arak with the technology of Skywalk’s X-Alps wings.
Weighing only 2.9 kg, the Arak Air is 30% lighter than its predecessor and has a considerably smaller packing size, fitting into even the smallest backpack. It’s made from innovative TX-Light fabric on the heavily stressed leading edge, offering an excellent compromise between lightness and robustness. The rest of the canopy uses the very light 10D material, known for its good aging resistance despite its extremely low weight.
In the air, the Arak Air offers a lot of comfort due to its smoothness, making it very easy to handle. The canopy gives excellent feedback and builds confidence right from the start, so you can focus on the essentials even in the most demanding conditions. The compact ultra-lightweight intermediate allows the control of any bank angle with ease, so you will always find the best position in weak thermals as well as in rough lift.
The Arak Air is available in five sizes, with extended weight ranges to allow for extra vol-biv kit. It’s the perfect glider for all pilots who like to fly X-Alps style and who want to rely on the passive safety of an intermediate glider. If you’re looking to fly adventures like the X-Alps athletes, but are looking for a glider that is a little easier to handle in everyday life, then the Arak Air is your first choice!
