|
Hang gliding is an air sport where pilots mount themselves on harnesses
hanging from a wing frame and control their flight by shifting
their body weight against an attached triangular bar.
Hang gliding designs and construction advanced rapidly during the
middle of the 19th century with its popularity peaking in the 1980s.
Powered Hang Gliding Powered hang gliding offers pilots the ability to take-off from a relatively small, flat field and climb
altitudes easily through the use of a small 2-stroke engine.
Tandem Hang Gliding Tandem hang gliding refers to the activity where two pilots
are hooked into a single glider.
This is commonly used for training where student
and instructor share the same glider or to allow individuals
to experience hang gliding with minimal training.
