A Better-More Comfortable Ride

The Flight Ultralight Wheelchair is a marvel when it comes to your long-term health. The Flight Wheelchair is far superior to traditional slingseat wheelchairs. Our solid seat design won't rip, stretch, sag, or cause problems like those other wheelchairs do:

The Flight Ultralight Wheelchair is precision made using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. This guarantees a level of accuracy in frame and wheel alignment that is not available through traditional welded construction. The end result is a wheelchair which rolls noticeably easier.

“The solid seat design will avoid problems that are common with upholstered wheelchairs. The seats in traditional wheelchairs eventually sag, causing limitations in internal rotation and adduction of the hips plus increased weight bearing on bony prominences. The resulting poor posture, increased risk of contractures and skin breakdown cause increased health care costs and decreased function. These problems with traditional wheelchairs will not be issues with the solid seat design.”
