Calipt'Air AG was a Swiss aerospace company headquartered in Spiez, specializing in the development and production of paragliders as well as manufacturing emergency parachutes.
The firm's name is derived from Ancient Greek, combining kalos meaning "beautiful" and pteryx meaning "wing".
Established in December 1997, Calipt'Air ceased operations in 2005. Although a tribute website was launched in 2009 to honor the company, it has since been removed from online access.
Organized as an Aktiengesellschaft, Calipt'Air operated as a joint-stock corporation.
Their product lineup included various paraglider models such as the intermediate-level Calipt'Air Serenis, the Calipt'Air Vectis designed for advanced intermediate pilots and competitive flying, and the Calipt'Air Walabis Bi, which served tandem flight instruction purposes. Additionally, the company offered the SOS series of emergency parachutes.
