How Hang Gliding Works

How a Hang Glider Flies

Hang-gliding Equipment

A Basic Flight
... Shop or Compare Prices Imagine soaring like a hawk thousands of feet above the ground. Although the air is somewhat chilly, the view is tremendous and the solitude is relaxing. You search for updrafts of air to keep you aloft so that you can enjoy this feeling for hours. This is the experience of hang gliding. Photo courtesy Ramy Yanetz Hang glider Ramy Yanetz over Rio de Janiero The hang glider's wing, called a delta wing or Rogallo wing , is an outgrowth of NASA engineer Francis Rogallo's research on kites and parachutes in the 1960s. Rogallo had proposed the wing as a method of returning spacecraft to Earth. The delta-wing parachute was lightweight, durable and highly maneuverable. Later, John Dickenson, Bill Moyes, Bill Bennett and Richard Miller developed the Rogallo wing into the modern hang glider and launched an immensely popular sport shared by millions of people worldwide. In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we will examine the sport of hang gliding. We'll show you the details of the aircraft, the equipment involved, how to fly it and how to become a certified hang glider.

Every area of the harness, engineering and control systems has been steadily refined to produce a powered harness which is simplicity to use, quite simply the most comfortable prone unit available and marks a radical departure from existing power unit configurations. Even the smallest details have been looked at and redesigned to avoid wear and pressure points and enable the harness to have a long and trouble free life.
