Airdesign Ufo

All sizes of the UFO are easy to fly and exhibit very forgiving handling characteristics. With remarkably simple and stable launch phase response, coupled with extremely relaxed flight behaviour, the UFO is an incredibly safe and fun glider.

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.
