The paraglider flies thanks to a flexible profile conditioned by its speed relative to the air mass. The risks are a little different between the two machines.
#HANG GLIDER WITH MOTOR FULL#
If the beginnings of both disciplines were rather rock'n'roll and reserved for pioneers, this is no longer the case today with aircraft that have reached their full maturity and a maximum level of safety. Which glider offers the best safety: Hang gliding or Paragliding? Hang glider pilot training has also seen the light of day and the practice has been democratised. Since then the hang glider has been constantly improved with double surface constructions which improve lift (flat lower surface, curved upper surface like on an aircraft wing), new lighter composite materials with a rigid structure which no longer need masts and stays. Many challenges were then born: flying over the Statue of Liberty in New York or the Eiffel Tower in Paris.īut it was in 1973 that the Frenchman Christian Paul-Depasse, with his company Delta, registered the first brand of hang glider in the world: the DELTA-PLANE brand, which has since given its name to this flying aircraft. In the 1960's we find pioneers such as the Australian Bill Moyes who made the first hang glider free flight in history. In the end it was the classic parachute that won the day, but the hang glider was propelled to the forefront.
NASA was looking for the best way to glide the space capsules after their re-entry into the atmosphere. But it was especially during the conquest of space that work on the hang-glider was most intense. The hang-glider, or rather its ancestor signed Albert Berlinger, appeared very early in 1811 and was improved in 1890 by Otto Lilienthal.
