The Virus SW 912 is identical to the Virus except it's wingspan, at 10.7 m (35' 1½"), is smaller than the standard Virus making this aircraft easier to hanger. Performance is slightly up with the aircraft flying faster but the compromise is a reduced glide ratio.

The Virus SW is equipped with steerable nose wheel or tailwheel as an option.

The Virus SW is a very capable touring aircraft. With long range tanks it has 7 hours endurance at 120 knots and with a higher wing loading it cuts through heavy turbulence with ease.

From A-to-B the Virus SW is certainly an efficient and economical aircraft, but dont let this fool you - slope soaring is a breeze in the Virus SW. The fast roll rate and excellent visibility make it a substantial wave or slope soaring aircraft and with a glide ratio of 20:1 it can still be thermaled. Overall, the Virus SW is an extremely nice package which will fit in most hangars because of the shorter wingspan.
