02.10.2009, 09:27, Look down: 7136xATIS 3 is right now being certified as a wing in the upper safety level of EN B category. It is not a glider to replace ATIS 2, but define a category of its own – upper EN B. ATIS 3 is right now (October 2009) certified in M and L sizes, and as we speak, the S and XL sizes are in the certification process. The main aim was to create a glider which will provide performance margin for activ...
CIMA K2 (12)
05.03.2009, 07:58, Look down: 2603xMountain flying, or in general flying light, goes through a real renaissance these days. The flying is almost similar to what we have had experienced (and luckily survived) almost 20 years ago – flying light. Obviously, the equipment of the days then was far from the performance of today’s gliders and also the passive safety of our wings at the time might be disputable, compared to wings t...

17.02.2009, 09:46, Look down: 1333xERIS 3 RS is a modification of a high performance wing ERIS 3. The aim of all those changes/upgrades was to maximize the potential of the concept and bring even higher performance with the remaining safety margin, quite unusual for the competition wing. Also the handling remained the same – easy and nice. Just check the glider’s web page support.

ANAKIS (18)
12.12.2008, 13:13, Look down: 5223xAs we speak, ANAKIS is slowly getting ready for the production. It will be released in March 2009 and it will fill in the performance and safety gap in between FIDES 2 evo and ATIS 2. It is going to be EN B (low/entry level EN B) certified and will please occasional pilots, novice pilots or those, who just have many other activities and paragliding is just one of many. ANAKIS will be the ...
PARAMAGIA - the catalogue is born (34)
11.12.2008, 13:13, Look down: 2299xPARAMAGIA, or, browsing through the charms of our grandfathers and grandmothers (ladies first), one could say when reading the catalogue. Yellowish, tiny booklet full of mysteries, comics, some taroks, magical stories of flying, or, just a few pages later, harp playing to the flyers, or, just here, one more mystery hidden the tree tops and here, and, look, look here, magicians doing their...
ARES 2 (9)
04.04.2008, 17:24, Look down: 2421xARES 2 – high performance wing of EN-D category will be presented shortly in the new generation of the graphical design.

Pilots and photos by: Claude Thurneer, Tomas Lednik, ...
ERIS 3 (12)
22.05.2007, 17:24, Look down: 1652xWe have been collecting all the possible feedback for the last 14 months from all those flying ERIS 2. And we have been making tiny improvements all the time. It was already model of ERIS 2 which was remarkably improved. But still, we rather think it will be much better to wait for the really new generation glider with more distinctive features to provide the new index to the name. And yes...
ATIS 2 (2007/02) (11)
01.02.2007, 17:24, Look down: 1699xATIS 2 was of the glider that our friends from Spain took with the to Cannery Island, just to enjoy and make a review… and they liked it, they liked it so much that they enjoyed the glider with their trike as soon as they got back from the island trip. Just see the enjoyment, regardless if you check the free flight pictures or PPG pictures. Pictures: ojovolador.com Pilot: Daniel Crespo V...
CIMA in Nepal (10)
31.01.2007, 17:24, Look down: 1617xJoe McCarthy just returned from his flying (CIMA, SKYLIGHT and SKY LITE) expedition to NEPAL. He enjoyed his stay a lot and we have a chance to enjoy his pictures. CIMA proved again to be very stable, light and reliable wing as Joe was able to fly almost anywhere without the fear of collapses on difficult conditions. Photo: Joe McCarthy
ANTEA (7)
18.11.2006, 17:24, Look down: 2639xANTEA (temporary name) is a new glider designed by Alexandre Paux and Sky Paragliders R&D Team. The glider comes with a new name, just to propose that we really deal with a new model, new category and new feelings to be experienced when you fly ANTEA. ANTEA is just the right choice for all those who miss some agility and speed when flying BRONTES and at the same those who do not fly A...
FIDES 2 & SKYLIGHT (12)
20.06.2006, 17:24, Look down: 1769xSlavek, one of our pilots, is literally always anywhere (everywhere) with his glider. And when he was travelling to USA, he decided to give a try to one our marketing claims, saying that SKYLIGHT is the harness with the glider that could be easily considered as hand luggage at your plane travels. And Slavek gave a try it worked. So here we are with his set of pictures featuring SKYLIGHT a...
BRONTES 2 (17)

Retro (24)
03.04.2006, 17:24, Look down: 1855xWhat is this? Paragliding equipment. And where do you jump from? Well, depends… And that bunch of things really flies: No doubt! You’d be surprised… A how? And that is all you need? Well, the helmet and rescue is extra.. I do not take those usually. But they say it is better to fly with those… He answered and disappeared on the track up to the take off. Paragliding in 1990 was really charm...
ERIS 2 (7)
06.03.2006, 17:24, Look down: 1448xERIS 2 is a new competition model by SKY Paragliders. It follows the popularity and success of ERIS but does not only introduces the new index for the name – ERIS 2 is different, it is prepared from the scratch – new profiles, bigger flight surface, easier to handle in thermals, higher speed, lower sink rate, new speed system… The gliders to be introduced in four sizes at the beginning of...
ATIS 2 (2006/03) (8)
06.03.2006, 17:24, Look down: 1626xATIS 2 seems to be the most eye catching and rumoured glider :-) ever in the history of SKY Paragliders. We have so many questions for the glider that we wanted to show and tell more – one more gallery, more technical details. The gliding ratio is 8.5, the layout aspect ratio is 5,1 and the speed range is 23–48 km/h. Trim speed is 37 km/h. The flight weight range is 60 – 130 kgs, four siz...
ATIS 2 (2006/02) (9)
02.02.2006, 20:40, Look down: 1883xSometimes it is just too hot to climb the mountains, sometimes it is too rainy to feel like swimming and sometimes it is too foggy and frosty for paragliding… But regardless of the foggy, chilly weather, we still go on certifying the glider – ATIS 2. In the gallery there are the first pictures of ATIS 2 with new ground plan, new profile, new geometry and new SKY design… Pilots and photos...

ARES (9)
23.08.2005, 17:24, Look down: 1999xARES is a new high performance glider. The name originates in Greek where the meaning was the FIGHTER.
