In 1952 Canadian Domina Jalbert patented a
governable gliding parachute with multi-cells and controls for lateral
glide.[2]
In 1954, Walter Neumark predicted (in an
article in Flight magazine) a time when a glider pilot would be "able to
launch himself by running over the edge of a cliff or down a slope ... whether
on a rock-climbing holiday in Skye or ski-ing in the Alps."[3]
In 1961, the French engineer Pierre
Lemongine produced improved parachute designs that led to the Para-Commander.
The PC had cutouts at the rear and sides that enabled it to be towed into the
air and steered, leading to parasailing/parascending.
Domina Jalbert invented the Parafoil, which
had sectioned cells in an aerofoil shape; an open leading edge and a closed
trailing edge, inflated by passage through the air – the ram-air design. He
filed US Patent 3131894 on January 10, 1963.[4]

Radio
Radio communications are used in training,
to communicate with other pilots, and to report where and when they intend to
land. These radios normally operate on a range of frequencies in different
countries—some authorised,[18][19] some illegal but tolerated locally. Some
local authorities (e.g., flight clubs) offer periodic automated weather updates
on these frequencies. In rare cases, pilots use radios to talk to airport
control towers or air traffic controllers. Many pilots carry a cell phone so
they can call for pickup should they land away from their intended point of
destination.
GPS
GPS (global positioning system) is a
necessary accessory when flying competitions, where it has to be demonstrated
that way-points have been correctly passed. The recorded GPS track of a flight
can be used to analyze flying technique or can be shared with other pilots. GPS
is also used to determine drift due to the prevailing wind when flying at
altitude, providing position information to allow restricted airspace to be
avoided and identifying one's location for retrieval teams after landing out in
unfamiliar territory. 长宁区通用滑翔伞哪家强
Launching

As with all aircraft, launching and landing
are done into wind. The wing is placed into an airstream, either by running or
being pulled, or an existing wind. The wing moves up over the pilot into a
position in which it can carry the passenger. The pilot is then lifted from the
ground and, after a safety period, can sit down into his harness. Unlike
skydivers, paragliders, like hang gliders, do not "jump" at any time
during this process. There are two launching techniques used on higher
ground[20] and one assisted launch technique used in flatland areas:
In some modern paragliders (from the 1990s
onwards), especially higher-performance wings, some of the cells of the leading
edge are closed to form a cleaner aerodynamic profile. Holes in the internal
ribs allow a free flow of air from the open cells to these closed cells to
inflate them, and also to the wingtips, which are also closed.[13]
The pilot is supported underneath the wing
by a network of suspension lines. These start with two sets of risers made of
short (40 cm) lengths of strong webbing. Each set is attached to the harness by
a carabiner, one on each side of the pilot, and each riser of a set is generally
attached to lines from only one row of its side of wing. At the end of each
riser of the set, there is a small delta maillon with a number (2 – 5) of lines
attached, forming a fan. These are typically 4 – 5 metres long, with the end
attached to 2 − 4 further lines of around 2 m, which are again joined to a
group of smaller, thinner lines. In some cases this is repeated for a fourth
cascade.
The top of each line is attached to small
fabric loops sewn into the structure of the wing, which are generally arranged
in rows running span-wise (i.e., side to side). The row of lines nearest the
front are known as the A lines, the next row back the B lines, and so on.[14] A
typical wing will have A, B, C and D lines, but recently, there has been a
tendency to reduce the rows of lines to three, or even two (and experimentally
to one), to reduce drag.
Paraglider lines are usually made from
Dyneema/Spectra or Kevlar/Aramid.[14] Although they look rather slender, these
materials are immensely strong. For example, a single 0.66 mm-diameter line
(about the thinnest used) can have a breaking strength of 56 kg.[15]
Paraglider wings typically have an area of
20–35 square metres (220–380 sq ft) with a span of 8–12 metres (26–39 ft) and
weigh 3–7 kilograms (6.6–15.4 lb). Combined weight of wing, harness, reserve,
instruments, helmet, etc. is around 12–22 kilograms (26–49 lb).

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. 宝山区通用滑翔伞价格行情
