About the Schempp-Hirth Arcus

The Schempp-Hirth Arcus is a German-built side-by-side two-seat sailplane that represents the pinnacle of modern high-performance glider design. Introduced in 2009, the Arcus combines exceptional soaring capability with the practicality of a retractable sustainer engine, allowing pilots to self-launch or extend cross-country flights without relying on towplanes or thermals. With an 20-meter wingspan and advanced laminar-flow airfoil, the Arcus achieves glide ratios exceeding 50:1, making it one of the most efficient sailplanes in its class.

The side-by-side seating configuration is unusual for high-performance gliders and makes it particularly popular for training, cross-country racing, and shared soaring experiences. The optional Solo 2625 two-stroke engine retracts fully into the fuselage behind the cockpit, preserving the aircraft's clean aerodynamic lines when soaring. The Arcus has become a favorite in European soaring clubs and among serious cross-country pilots who value both performance and versatility.
