The new UFO
Construction & Features
- Double coated Skytex, doubled seams and etching tape on edges: robustness is the key.
- For the first time in the product range, the lines are unsheathed Aramid but color-coded! Solidity has never been so easy to untangle.
- The use of Nitinol rods not only saves weight and increases robustness, it also allows a super compact folding… To always slip into your rucksack.
- Leading edge and trailing edge are with mylar-border band. This ensures a structural consistency for not changing the wing’s flying behaviors.
- Struts have disappeared from the surface for an even cleaner, simpler design, and more compact folding. Few ribs are supported by Nitinol rods instead.
