Neilpryde Fly II PRO 2024 wing

FLYING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

The 2024 FLY II PRO is an innovative advancement of the first FLY edition from 2023. The shape has undergone revisions similar to those of the FLY II, but it has also been enhanced with premium materials to deliver exceptional performance and user experience.

From the original FLY, our goal was to enhance stability, stiffness, and improve handling and control. The FLY II PRO introduces Aluula Aeris X, featuring a +/-45° X weave as opposed to regular Aluula, with lightweight Aeris wingtips, resulting in significantly increased bias stiffness. This enables a thinner and stiffer Leading Edge (LE) than ever before. Additionally, since the materials are composed of a single polymer, they are ready for recycling.
In general the handle weight has been reduced, the FLY PRO now features even lighter carbon handles with black EVA without texture, for a clean and technical look.

The sizes are carefully chosen - the half square metre increments of the Fly Pro are optimum for the more 'pro‘ rider. From 3,5 to 6,5 - you can find your ideal premium NeilPryde wing.

Features:

• 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.
• High lift concept: due to the highly refined le geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater maneuverability.
• High tension canopy with structured camber lens: the 3D shape of the canopy leading edge is defined by a series of transverse panels that converge at the wingtips. This leverages the le tube structure to maximize tension in the critical entry sections – the result is more lift and a higher stall angle for better acceleration in light winds, and the ability to fly efficiently at low angles of attack for better control and higher top speeds in strong winds.
  
  

Developments vs 2023 Fly:

• Leading edge reduction: The Leading Edge (LE) diameter has been decreased 9-12% for the FLY II PRO (moreso in larger sizes) to reduce drag and allow higher inflation pressures.
• Evolved window shape: Evolved window shape adds outboard elements to improve visibility when sheeted in. X Ply Windows in front and back.
• Increased wingtip sweep: Wingtip sweep has been increased to improve upwind stability and and for more control while holding the wing in a neutral position. The pointing ability is improved due to moved Center of Effort slightly to the leech. The use of Aluula Aeris material in the LE and wing tips allowed us to create a thinner, lighter and stiffer LE and wing tip than ever before.
• Transverse paneling update: 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.
  
  

Materials highlights:

ALUULA AERIS X™
Exceptionally strong, durable and balanced fabrics.
Using the same patented ALUULA Fuse™ process as the structural fabrics, ALUULA Aeris X™ fabrics feature additional reinforcement on the bias that delivers exceptionally balanced performance for applications such as kite and wing canopy, and sails.
Aeris X™ fabrics are typically 20-50% lighter than incumbent fabrics, yet are 3-4 times stronger and 6 times better in tear resistance. After 800 hours of simulated UV exposure, Aeris X™ is 6 times stronger and has a staggering 64 times higher tear strength than incumbent canopy/sail fabrics.

ALUULA AERIS™
Exceptionally durable and ultralight
Built using the same ALUULA Fuse™ process as the more structural fabrics, the ALUULA Aeris™ family combines the unmatched strength performance of the ALUULA Core™ along with the toughest and strongest ultralight films available.
This results in a softer hand feel but unrivaled strength, tear and abrasion characteristics.
