FLY II WING
1.8 / 2.4 / 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.3 / 4.7 / 5.0 / 5.4 / 5.7 / 6.0 / 6.7
The 2024 FLY II represents an evolutionary leap from the original model that features new materials, even more advanced 3D flying shapes, and a host of enhancements aimed at improving performance and enhancing the user experience.
Continuing with the unique high lift coefficient concept, it features an even stiffer airframe and a new twist profile, greatly enhancing handling and control in high wind conditions. The canopy tension distribution, originally derived from windsurfing sail design, has been fine-tuned to improve upwind speed and handling through upwind maneuvers. The dihedral front profile has been reshaped for increased stability when sheeted in, particularly beneficial for harness-equipped riders. Additional Leading Edge (LE) segments at the wingtips not only reduce drag but also provide added stiffness, enabling the wing to point higher. The vented strut has been updated with an additional stiffener at the Leading Edge (LE) in the center, enhancing stability in the area ahead of the fill panel, making the wing much more forgiving during tacks.
The FLY II is now constructed entirely from Teijin LE dacron, greatly enhancing its shape durability. The trailing edge panels forward of the frame are made from Challenge Code 95 for exceptional stiffness and long lasting shape control. The back windows now feature a dyneema X-ply for the optimum balance between visibility, light weight and structural integrity, while the front windows are clear PVC. The windows have been redesigned and repositioned to improve visibility.
The wide range of size options between 4.0 and 6.0 are unique to the Fly II. We have simplified the sizing between 1.8 to 3.5 compared to the previous model to make the selection process much easier.
KEY FEATURES -
> High Quality Bladder with Anti-Twist System - Fixing the bladder in different spots in the tube prevents it from twisting and therefore protects it from breaking when inflating. It also makes changing the bladder super easy and long lasting shape control.
> Canopy Material - The trailing edge panels forward of the frame are made from Challenge Code 95 for exceptional stiffness and long lasting shape control. Transverse paneling holds shape under load and reduces stretch over time.
> Separated Air Chamber - The partition adds safety, increases the Leading Edge stiffness and allows the wing to be deflated more quickly.
> Vented Strut - Allows the pressure to equalize the two sides of the wing.
> Unique Handle Design - Calibrated positions for effortless balanced flight, ergonomic design to reduce fatigue and position the wing at the optimum flight angle.
DEVELOPMENTS -
The development of the FLY concept has been based on using the most proven materials, examining the technical development of wingfoiling down to the smallest detail and adjusting all the set screws.
> Transverse Canopy Paneling - The new wings have much more precise shaping built in, while retaining the transverse paneling that holds it‘s shape under load and stretches much less over time. There are now 4 stitched transverse panels on each side of the wing compared to only 2 in the previous model, vastly increasing shape stability.
> Integral batten system - Sewn-in composite battens create a flat, fast trailing edge with minimum flutter.
> Staggered Material Weights on LE - LE with ALUULA AERIS X materials for strength and durability and ALUULA AERIS for durable & ultralight wingtips.
> Unique handle design - Calibrated positions for effortless balanced flight, ergonomic design to reduce fatigue and position the wing at the optimum flight angle.
