The Schempp-Hirth Arcus is a flapped Two Seater Class glider under development by Schempp-Hirth. It is due to fly in 2009. It will be offered in addition to the Duo Discus which is an unflapped 20 metre two-seater, whose fuselage it shares. The wings have flaperons integrated along the whole span.

It will be available as a pure glider, a turbo using the Solo 2350-engine, and as a self-launching glider using the Solo 2625-2. An electric power unit based on Antares 20E equipment is also planned in collaboration with Lange Flugzeugbau GmbH.
