A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launchedaircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by the pressure of air entering vents in thefront of the wing.The paraglider wing or canopy is known in aeronautical engineering as a ram-air airfoil, or parafoil. Such wings are comprised of twolayers of fabric, which are connected to internal supporting material in such a way as to form a row of cells. By leaving most of thecells open only at the leading edge, incoming air (ram-air pressure) keeps the wing inflated, thus maintaining its shape. When inflated,the wing's cross-section has the typical teardrop aerofoil shape.The pilot is supported underneath the wing by a network of lines. The lines are gathered into two sets as left and right risers.The risers collect the lines in rows from front to back in either 3 or 4 rows. The risers are connected to the pilot's harness by twocarabiners.The pilot is loosely and comfortably buckled into a harness, which offers support in both the standing and sitting positions.Modern harnesses are designed to be as comfortable as a lounge chair in the sitting position. Many harnesses even have anadjustable 'lumbar support'.A reserve parachute is also typically connected to a paragliding harness.Paraglider wings typically have an area of 20-35 m² with a span of 8-12 m, and weigh 3-7 kg. Combined weight of wing, harness,reserve, instruments, helmet, etc. is around 12-18 kg.The speed range of paragliders is typically 20-50 km/h (12-30 mph), from stall speed to maximum speed. Beginner wings will be inthe lower part of this range, high-performance wings in the upper part of the range. The range for safe flying will be somewhat smaller.Modern paraglider wings are made of high-performance non-porous fabrics such as Porcher Sport & Gelvenor, withDyneema/Spectra or Kevlar/Aramid lines.Tandem paragliders, designed to carry the pilot and one passenger, are larger but otherwise similar. They usually fly faster with highertrim speeds, are more resistant to collapse, and have a slightly higher sink rate compared to solo paragliders.Paragliding is perhaps often viewed as a higher-risk sport than it actually is. Nonetheless, there is great potential for injury for thereckless or ill-prepared.The safety of the sport is directly proportional to the skill and sense of the pilot. It's important to note that almost all paraglidingaccidents are the result of pilot error. Paragliding equipment is very well built and, if properly cared for, will never fail.This information found:Wikipedia EncylopediaFind Paragliders for Sale and more Here:Paragliding, Paragliders for SaleParagliding, Paragliders for Sale Power By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: paragliding - Home: paragliding - Forum: paragliding - Join - Next
