US Patent 9365957 Ultralight flat-weave fabric comprising two weft directions

An ultralight flat-weave fabric including more than one wefts and their directions that intersect with one another to form a particular angle in relation to the warp, and a warp. The weft and warp are supplied with fibers or fabrics having a cross-section in the form of a flat tape. In this way, it is possible to product a woven fabric in which two weft tapes having different directions are combined with the warp tape, such that stresses in six different directions are absorbed in a single fabric layer without multiple fabrics having to be overlapped. The woven fabric is completely covered, has a weight-to-surface area ratio of 2, and, as a result, is very light.
