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.

In
flatter countryside, pilots can also be launched with a tow. Once at full
height (towing can launch pilots up to 3000 feet altitude), the pilot pulls a
release cord, and the towline falls away. This requires separate training, as
flying on a winch has quite different characteristics from free flying. There
are two major ways to tow: pay-in and pay-out towing. Pay-in towing involves a
stationary winch that winds in the towline and thereby pulls the pilot in the
air. The distance between winch and pilot at the start is around 500 metres or
more. Pay-out towing involves a moving object, like a car or a boat, that pays
out line slower than the speed of the object, thereby pulling the pilot up in
the air. In both cases, it is very important to have a gauge indicating line
tension to avoid pulling the pilot out of the air. Another form of towing is
"static line" towing. This involves a moving object, like a car or a
boat, attached to a paraglider or hang glider with a fixed-length line. 南通专业滑翔伞全国发货
飞行中的机翼放气(崩溃)
由于机翼(机翼)的形状是由进入机翼并使之膨胀的运动空气形成的,因此在湍流的空气中,机翼的一部分或全部会收缩(塌陷)。被称为“主动飞行”的飞行员技术将**降低通气或坍塌的频率和严重性。这种通缩通常无需飞行员干预即可恢复。如果发生严重的放气,正确的飞行员输入将加快从放气中恢复的速度,但是错误的飞行员输入会减慢滑翔机返回正常飞行的速度,因此飞行员必须进行正确的训练和练习以应对放气。
在极少数情况下,无法从通缩中恢复(或从诸如旋转等其他威胁性状况中)恢复过来的情况下,大多数飞行员会携带备用(救援,紧急情况)降落伞。但是,大多数飞行员从来没有理由“扔”他们的储备。如果机翼在低空发生放气,即在起飞后不久或着陆前不久,机翼(滑翔伞)可能无法迅速恢复其正确的结构以防止发生,飞行员通常没有足够的剩余高度来部署后备力量降落伞[**小降落高度大约为60 m(200 ft),但通常在稳定期使用120-180 m(390-590 ft)的高度进行典型部署]。备用降落伞的不同包装方式会影响其部署时间。
滑翔伞完整的设备打包成背包,可以轻松地放在飞行员的后背,汽车或公共交通工具上。[14]与其他航空运动相比,这**简化了到达合适起飞点的行程,着陆地点的选择和返程行程。
双人滑翔伞设计用来载飞行员和一名乘客,虽然较大,但在其他方面相似。与单独的滑翔伞相比,它们通常以更高的修剪速度飞行得更快,更不易塌陷,并且下沉率略高。
带线束的飞行员(浅蓝色),进行反向发射
飞行员可以轻松舒适地扣入安全带,该安全带可在站立和坐姿中提供支撑。大多数安全带在座椅下方和后方都有泡沫或安全气囊保护装置,以减少对失败的发射或着陆造成的影响。现代安全带的设计使其在坐姿或躺姿时都像躺椅一样舒适。许多背带甚至具有可调节的“腰部支撑”。备用降落伞通常也连接至滑翔伞背带。
线束也根据飞行员的需求而有所不同,因此设计范围很广,主要是:初学者的训练用安全带,双人旅客的Pax防护带(通常还兼用作训练用安全带),长距离越野飞行的XC线束, Pod线束,适用于基本至中级飞行员的全能线束,适用于专注于XC的中级至专业飞行员。杂技安全带是专为杂技飞行员设计的,儿童双人安全带现在也提供特殊的儿童防盗锁。
The glide ratio of paragliders ranges from
9.3 for recreational wings to about 11.3 for modern competition models,[16]
reaching in some cases up to 13.[17] For comparison, a typical skydiving
parachute will achieve about 3:1 glide. A hang glider ranges from 9.5 for
recreational wings to about 16.5 for modern competition models. An idling
(gliding) Cessna 152 light aircraft will achieve 9:1. Some sailplanes can
achieve a glide ratio of up to 72:1.
The speed range of paragliders is typically
20–75 kilometres per hour (12–47 mph), from stall speed to maximum speed.
Beginner wings will be in the lower part of this range, high-performance wings
in the upper part of the range.[note 2]
For storage and carrying, the wing is
usually folded into a stuffsack (bag), which can then be stowed in a large
backpack along with the harness. For pilots who may not want the added weight
or fuss of a backpack, some modern harnesses include the ability to turn the
harness inside out such that it becomes a backpack.

Reverse launches have a number of
advantages over a forward launch. It is more straightforward to inspect the
wing and check if the lines are free as it leaves the ground. In the presence
of wind, the pilot can be tugged toward the wing, and facing the wing makes it
easier to resist this force and safer in case the pilot slips (as opposed to
being dragged backwards). However, the movement pattern is more complex than
forward launch, and the pilot has to hold the brakes in a correct way and turn
to the correct side so he does not tangle the lines. These launches are
normally attempted with a reasonable wind speed, making the ground speed
required to pressurise the wing much lower.
The launch is initiated by the hands
raising the leading edge with the As. As it rises the wing is controlled more
by centring the feet than by use of the brakes or Cs. With mid level wings (EN
C and D) the wing may try to "overshoot" the pilot as it nears the
top. This is checked with Cs or brakes. The wing becomes increasingly sensitive
to the Cs and brakes as its internal air pressure rises.
