homebuild experimental
light sport balloon

wedoo2000 130 III white.png

WeDOO is FlyDOO's family of ultralight hot air envelopes, designed to break the mold and set new standards in the manufacturing of hot air balloons. They are designed to carry two people on board, while delivering the lightest and smallest package for making your life easier and the sport more enjoyable. WeDOOs are, in fact, the world lightest balloons commercially produced in their size, and also the most compact ones once folded: some of them can even be carried in a backpack!

Every single detail has been carefully engineered following the philosophy "as light as it can get", involving the introduction of innovative solutions, but without compromise in the quality and reliability of the solutions and materials used. A strong focus has also been dedicated in making the life of the pilot easier, delivering a product that is simple to set-up, easy and safe to inflate and predictable and responsive in flight. A complete line of top quality accessories designed with functionality in mind, complements each envelope and will make your ownership experience a better one.

The WeDOO family of envelopes currently includes the WeDOO1200 (1200m3/42000ft3), the WeDOO1600 (1600m3/56500cu.ft), the WeDOO2000 (2000m3/70600cu.ft.), and the latest arrived, the new WeDOO2200 16 gores (2200m3/77700cu.ft)!

INNOVATIONS

3D CONFIGURATOR

TECH & FEATURES

STRAPLESS LOAD SYSTEM
strapless 2 EVO 2.png

The load carrying function is fulfilled by high-strength lines with Technora® fibres and LIROS Heat-Stretch-System to minimize stretch and creep. They are covered by water repellent polyester, and are placed inside the seam for additional protection. They provide excellent braking load characteristics, and are so thin and light that they contribute drastically in making the WeDOOs the lightest and more compact balloons around. Additionally, no more bulky and heavy webbings will cut and interfere with your artwork!

FES

Our exclusive solution for reducing stress on seams and fabric: lines are not directly sewn to the envelope, meaning that load carrying and internal pressure retention are two distinct functions that are fulfilled independently by lines, and by the fabric, allowing the envelope to smoothly position itself taking account of the different elongation characteristics between load lines and fabric. No wrinkles, which involve high tenstion spots, means a better looking balloon which will last longer. 

FLOATING ENVELOPE SYSTEM
SKYTEX by PorcherSPORT

WeDOOs are produced using one of the finest high performance and durable Ripstop fabrics available in the flying sport industry today, the Skytex® from PorcherSPORT, entirely produced in Europe. It actually represents the best compromise between weight, performance and durability, with one of the finest polyurethane coatings available. It offers excellent water repellent and UV stability characteristics, and has proven its qualities in the balloon industry for years, beside having successfully passed several laboratory tests at FlyDOO. At only 38gr the square meter, no surprise this is one of they keys in making your envelope so light and portable!

NEW! DOUBLE SKIN

We have recently introduced a very special feature, a double skin internal independent load-carrying envelope produced with the same fabric of the main balloon. This feature can be installed and removed without sewing and withour any special tools. The parachute is also double skinned. Gaz consumption is significantly lower, while still being a ballon which is lighter than a single skin ballon of traditional production. Further testings are underway before publishing some precise results about the exact gain.

3D PARACHUTE CUT

FlyDOO's parachute has a tension relief 3D cut that allows it to naturally take the needed shape without compromising its longevity due to unregular pressure distribution. 

WINGLETS

WeDOO envelopes come with 4 distinctive 3D winglets to make your balloon stand out from the rest. You can still choose their color in the 3D Configurator!

HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENTS

Twaron® custom produced lightweight and high-strength webbings are used for the horizontal envelope reinforcements. They combine lightness, with high strength and extreme foldability. 

EASY-GRIP PARACHUTE VENT CHORD

The parachute activation chord is a high quality custom produced 6mm Kevlar rope covered with Polyester. Aramid has been specially treated with a special coating system that allows long life and supports extreme temperatures, between -30ºC and 350ºC. This allows us to use a thinner, lighter line. For easy and improved handling, there are several high density plastic stopper balls installed.
