Swing Astral


The Astral is a German single-place paraglider that was designed and produced by Swing Flugsportgeräte of Landsberied. It is now out of production.

Design and development

The Astral was designed as an intermediate glider. A two-seat tandem version was also developed for flight training, the Astral Twin.
The design has progressed through seven generations of models, each improving on the last. The models are each named for their approximate projected wing area in square metres.

Operational history

Reviewer Noel Bertrand described the Astral in a 2003 review as "a very good DHV 2 ".
