Metis 5 Skyparagliders paragliding wing

A tandem paraglider designed to last, built to perform

The Metis 5 is a professional tandem paraglider designed for tandem pilots seeking reliability, precision, and everyday comfort. Built to withstand intensive use, it offers intuitive inflation, light brake pressure, and outstanding handling, turning every tandem flight into a smooth and enjoyable experience, even in demanding conditions.

Performance and safety, naturally combined

The Metis 5 is based on an entirely new profile design, focused on aerodynamic performance while ensuring optimal stability. Developed by Standa Klikar, this paraglider shares nothing with its predecessor.

The reinforced leading edge and anti-flutter pockets ensure constant internal pressure and excellent canopy cohesion. The result is improved penetration in turbulent air, enhanced stability, and increased comfort for both passenger and pilot.

Thermal precision and enjoyable handling

Thanks to a perfectly balanced combination of profile camber and depth, the handling of the Metis 5 feels similar to that of a solo wing. It allows precise thermal centering while maintaining a playful yet controlled behavior.

The light brake pressure contributes to an intuitive and comfortable piloting feel, even during long flights. A real advantage for professional pilots flying multiple rotations.

A wider, better-controlled speed range

The Metis 5 is equipped with trims extended by 2 cm, expanding the available speed range. This allows better adaptation to strong conditions or faster transitions during cross-country flights.

For more technical situations (heavy passenger, strong wind, or challenging terrain), the negative trim range allows effective speed reduction while maintaining smooth and precise handling.

Main features:

• Easy takeoff and landing: progressive inflation and intuitive flare for improved ground handling
• Redesigned aerodynamic profile: completely new, focused on performance and stability
• Light brake pressure: reduced fatigue and better feedback on long flights
• Precise and dynamic handling: ideal for efficient thermal flying
• Enhanced stability: reduced turbulence effects, increased passenger comfort
• Extended trim range: more speed or more control depending on flight needs
• Replaceable trims: straps can be replaced without changing the entire riser set
