厦门滑翔伞住宿

Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying,

foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure.[1] The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.

 Despite not using an engine，滑翔伞, paragliderflights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometres, though flights of one to two hours and covering some tens of kilometres are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height,

often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand metres.

无动力滑翔伞是借助伞翼在空中相对空气的运动产生的升力，由飞行员通过操纵绳控制速度、方向等，实现无动力滑翔伞自由翱翔的。它起源于法国，于上世纪八十年代传入中国，截至目前，国内的持证滑翔伞飞行员刚刚过万人，是极富魅力与想象力并且很厉害的潮人运动。

      请记住，滑翔伞不是降落伞，降落伞是“可展式气动阻力器”，它能让人或物体从空中以较小的匀速下降。而滑翔伞是人类目前创造出的简易的飞行器，它能借助对流层中的热气流越飞越高，直到云底或者热气流消散的积云顶端。

These developments were combined in June

1978 by three friends, Jean-Claude Bétemps, André Bohn and Gérard Bosson, from

Mieussy, Haute-Savoie, France. After inspiration from an article on slope

soaring in the Parachute Manual magazine by parachutist and publisher Dan

Poynter,[7] they calculated that on a suitable slope, a "square"

ram-air parachute could be inflated by running down the slope; Bétemps launched

from Pointe du Pertuiset, Mieussy, and flew 100 m. Bohn followed him and glided

down to the football pitch in the valley 1000 metres below.[8]

"Parapente" (pente being French for "slope") was born.

From the 1980s, equipment has continued to

improve, and the number of paragliding pilots and established sites has

continued to increase. The first (unofficial) Paragliding World Championship

was held in Verbier, Switzerland, in 1987,[9] though the first officially

sanctioned FAI World Paragliding Championship was held in Kössen, Austria, in

1989.[10]

Forward launch

In low winds, the wing is inflated with a

forward launch, where the pilot runs forward with the wing behind so that the

air pressure generated by the forward movement inflates the wing.

It is often easier, because the pilot only

has to run forward, but the pilot cannot see his wing until it is above him,

where he has to check it in a very short time for correct inflation and

untangled lines before the launch.

Reverse launch

In higher winds, a reverse launch is used,

with the pilot facing the wing to bring it up into a flying position, then

turning around under the wing and running to complete the launch.

Land-based practice: Kiting

About that time, David Barish was

developing the "sail wing" (single-surface wing) for recovery of NASA

space capsules – "slope soaring was a way of testing out ... the Sail

Wing."[5] After tests on Hunter Mountain, New York, in September 1965, he

went on to promote slope soaring as a summer activity for ski resorts.[6][7]

Author Walter Neumark wrote Operating

Procedures for Ascending Parachutes, and in 1973 he and a group of enthusiasts

with a passion for tow-launching PCs and ram-air parachutes broke away from the

British Parachute Association to form the British Association of Parascending Clubs

(which later became the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association). In

1997, Neumark was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Aero Club of the UK.

Authors Patrick Gilligan (Canada) and Bertrand Dubuis (Switzerland) wrote the

first flight manual, The Paragliding Manual in 1985, coining the word

paragliding.
