History of Paragliding

Paragliders have developed from two sources.

Move forward was to give them a corrugated round of evolution was a parachute. This eventually turned into a ram-air parachute.

The same time in 1960, David Barish, a NASA spacecraft testing and recovery system that led to the wing sail (pictured left) assisted in developing. The project was not continued.

Early in a water-skiing,

approximately 1975. ram-air parachute harness webbing, and the day for a flat note similarities.

This glider glide ratio was 3-1 down and up. So went forward for every 3 meters, 1 meter, they descend. low shear rate and lack of protection harness, squeezed injuries.

Distinctict elliptical wing shape in the 1980s began to look modern.

Glide ratios between 03:01 and 04:01 as a modern wing wing wing is a very effective way to support up to a full length of each line has returned to normal.

Glide ratios between 8 and 9.5 to 1 is common with modern paragliding.

Today, that filling the wing paragliding harness the evolution into the future of the hard landings.A glimpe remember. deathblade, aptly named super-high-performance experimental paragliding wing.

Other initiatives to increase the stiffness of the wing are carbon rods in a cloth.
