Sky Para - Metis 5

The METIS 5 is designed for commercial tandem pilots who need a reliable glider on a daily basis. Smooth and predictable landings and take-offs, together with light brake pressure, ensure effortless control over your flights. The job can be fun again.

Safety isn’t just the key feature - it shall be the foundation of every tandem glider. And METIS 5 delivers it naturally.

Performance Evolved from a New Concept

Although designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, the METIS 5 brings the performance legacy rooted in the designer's mind. The glider’s completely new profile, developed by designer Standa Klikar, is focused on aerodynamic efficiency with no similarity to the previous model.

The reinforced leading edge and the anti-flutter pocket in the cells help to maintain optimal internal pressure. This plays an important role in the wing’s cohesion and penetration of turbulent air, which enhances overall performance. Fine-tuned stability contributes to smoother flight dynamics, increasing performance and passenger comfort. Your passengers' stomachs will appreciate it, too. So why not consider an XC flight?

Precise Handling and Thermal Agility

After extensive prototype testing, we found the perfect balance in the arc and depth of the profile on the ears. The result is dynamic yet precise handling that allows the pilot to turn efficiently in thermals, almost like flying a solo wing.

The light brake pressure supports this feeling, making the METIS 5 remarkably intuitive and pleasant to control even in long thermal sessions.

Speed and Control Options

Performance also means flexibility. The METIS 5 features 2 cm longer trimmers, increasing the available speed range for efficient cross-country or stronger wind conditions.

At the same time, when flying with heavier passengers or in more demanding conditions, pilots can use the negative trimming range to reduce speed safely and comfortably — maintaining total control at all times.
