Hang Gliding

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.
