Air Design UFO 2

The new UFO - #haveyouseenit

The new UFO is SUPERLIGHT on every part designed but durable as well-known for the first one. Every detail matters. For instance, the use of rib-arches with a border-webbing support takes the load from the ribs and line attachments. As well it guarantees a long-lasting glider.

All the UFO sizes are certified!

 After the certification of the new UFO 16, all sizes are now certified and we are very happy to announce that:

• Sizes 18 and 20 are EN-A in their standard takeoff weight!
• Moreover, the UFO 13 passed the certification test with a stupendous EN-C. #haveyouseenit

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.

Did you know?

• AirDesign has received amazing feedbacks on the first UFO's longevity. With this new version, pilots and schools will be even happier! The repair shop may not!

With the new UFO, let’s go back to the roots of paragliding: to fly from a mountain, find a thermal and enjoy the glide! Accessible for everyone, this is the easiest to fly, fully usable and complete single surface, no compromise.

The new UFO - #haveyouseenit

They were returning home. What they had seen had astonished them so much, they were keeping quiet. One of them ended up breaking the silence.

•  "What are we going to say?"
•  "The truth” his fellow replied.

They went back to their thoughts. The spaceship was sailing on autopilot, they could rewind the scene and reflect on the impact of their discovery. Alf was worried. How would the Council react? He could already imagine himself overwhelmed by
questions: “Have you seen it?” “Is that true that They made our design even better?” and so on… That wouldn’t be easy. Especially with the old Stachys. The General was against this mission since the beginning and now they were coming back with such news. On the other hand, Gordon was kind of excited. What an adventure! After such a long time, they would be acclaimed like heroes. He could perfectly remember the kid playing in the wind. “I’d teach my son on this thing back home!”. He would have to be careful to hide his enthusiasm. But still! What a toy! And he couldn’t help but love the name they had chosen:

The UFO, the “Ultralight Flying Object” and their quirky logo as well. “These Humans are really funny” he thought while they could finally catch sight of their planet. The new UFO - Beam me up!

How to describe the new UFO…in one word?

Universal! 

How to describe the new UFO in one image?

Magnetic attraction! On a take-off people can't help to touch or inflate it. They are like mesmerized.

How to describe the new UFO  in one dream?

Alone on a remote peak... in a galaxy far, far away...

Alien’s words...

For every AD wing, these Humans use a claim and a hashtag. For the new UFO, they chose Beam me up and the #haveyouseenit. Dude these guys have guts! We heard them saying: “We know there was expectation, we are confident there won't be any disillusion.

The new UFO follows the original idea behind its predecessor: to be the simplest and easiest tool for hike&fly!”
