The weekend of June 20 and 21, 2026, will mark a historic date in Italy for inclusive sports open to "all disabilities". The Aero Gravity facility in Pero, just outside Milan, will host an unmissable double international event: the fifth stage of the World Series IPS – Indoor Para Skydiving and the official debut of the FLY RACE.
For two days, Europe's largest vertical wind tunnel will become the stage for international athletes and young talents ready to compete in flight challenges featuring acrobatics, speed, and precision (with an airflow exceeding 250 km/h!). It will be a true celebration where barriers disappear, leaving room only for talent, passion, and determination.
Flying with Andrea Pacini
We are incredibly proud to announce that among the protagonists of the event will be our great friend and ambassador, Andrea Pacini. He was the one who involved us in this extraordinary adventure, and we can't wait to see him in action in the wind tunnel! If you don't yet know his story and the bond we share, we invite you to read the article dedicated to him: Aria meets Andrea Pacini.
Aria is one of the Official Technical Partners
In an atmosphere so vibrant and aligned with our core values, we couldn't just sit back and watch! We will be present at the event as an Official Technical Partner with our own dedicated exhibition space. By visiting our stand, you will have the opportunity to:
See and touch our models firsthand.
Take our wheelchairs for a real test drive in a dynamic and highly energetic environment.
Receive an exclusive €200 discount voucher valid towards the purchase of an Aria wheelchair (excluding the Agile model), a special gift reserved for those who come to visit us and test the products in person.
