EVOLUTION
A year after introducing the FLY, Neilpryde have achieved additional development milestones and are proud to unveil the enhanced and refined models: FLY II PRO and FLY II. 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.
TECH FEATURES
SHAPE DIFFERENCES
The Fly II and Fly II PRO are very close. The major shape differences are the LE diameter (PRO is much smaller) and that - because it has a flatter entry angle to leverage the leading edge (LE) stiffness of the Aluula and reduce drag - the Fly PRO canopy appears slightly smaller when shown as flat pieces.
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
The use of an ultra-light, high-tenacity woven polyester at the wingtips and back of strut results in a very light ‘feel’ due to reduced swing weight.
UNIQUE HANDLE DESIGN
Calibrated positions for effortless balanced flight, ergonomic design to reduce fatigue and position the wing at the optimum flight angle.
VENTED STRUT
The large opening between the LE and the front of the fill panel (which connects the canopy to the strut) allows the pressure to equalize across the two sides of the wing. This improves overall performance and makes the wing even more stable.
NP HIGH LIFT CONCEPT
Drawing inspiration from the proven first generation FLY, the new Fly SL evolves the concept with flatter entry sections and increased canopy tension - this makes the wing point higher into the wind and extends the range while still retaining the responsive easy handling and early take off.
