Aeris
EXTRA RESPONSIVE AND LIGHTWEIGHT LEADING EDGE & STRUT
An even lighter ALUULA:
Aeris composite combines the strength-to-weight performance of the ALUULA Ultra PE Core, resulting in an extraordinarily lightweight recycle-ready material. The reflex provides an unmatched responsiveness.

Introducing
NEW AERIS Leading Edge & Strut Material
» CUSTOMIZED ULTRA PE CORE
» SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT
» CRISP, DIRECT FEEDBACK
ALUULA AERIS X – FX-86
Leading Edge – Center Segment
Weight: 86 GSM
Used in the center of the leading edge, the Aeris X is hands down the stiffest leading Ultra PE laminate available. This creates a rigid airframe for immediate response and maximum stability.
Composition: Ultra PE Triaxial Core
Key Benefits:
▸ Incredibly stiff
▸ Incredibly light
▸ Fully recyclable
Application: Center sections of the Wing where maximum stiffness is required
ALUULA AERIS – FA-74
Wingtips & Strut
Weight: 74 GSM
Featured in the wingtip and struts of key products, the Aeris FA-74 is the lightest airframe material developed to date. Featuring an extremely high warp strength to maintain structural rigidity while the intermediate bias creates a responsive airframe that improves low-end performance and responsiveness.
Composition: Ultra PE Biaxial Core
Key Benefits:
▸ Ultra lightweight
▸ Ultra responsive
▸ Fully recyclable
Application: Wingtips and center strut to reduce weight and increase reflex/ responsiveness.
ALUULA Aeris is super-charged through the use of Ultra PE
Understanding Ultra PE
- Ultra PE Fiber is a super-strong ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) ber that offers maximum strength with minimum weight.
- Ultra PE has extremely long molecular chains that transfer load more effectively. So it‘s stronger at the same weight or lighter at the same strength than alternatives.
- In a direct comparison to polyester, it is up to 32x Stronger.
- Ultra PE fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight and 2x lighter than Carbon Fiber.
- As well as its extraordinary strength, Ultra PE excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to UV.
- Ultra PE fiber is so light that it floats on water.
- Stiff does not mean fragile, Ultra PE also has very high ductility – It can absorb a lot of energy before it breaks.
Understanding the characteristics of this material is the key to the responsiveness of the next-gen wing designs, whereby the process of inflation places a higher tension on the fabric and you feel that rigidity and reflex immediately.

for every FreeWing sold
FreeWing plants 1 mangrove tree with Worldview International Foundation. Each Mighty Mangrove sinks down 673kg of VCS-certified CO2 during its first 25 years.
Offsetting the wing’s Carbon Emissions more than 10 X over while also funding livelihood projects in Myanmar.
We also collect 1.1 kg of beach / ocean plastic trash – equivalentto the amount of plastic trash entering the ocean, per person,per year. Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
