Hang Gliding

introduction

Hang gliding originated in 1984, is from France who deeply love parachuting, gliding wings of aircrew invented a flying movement, currently in Europe, America and Japan are very popular in Taiwan also launched a shares a whirlwind.

No power also called suspension triangle wing, with hard basic framework, with mobile whole wing manipulation, by tower, keel, tripod, condole four parts, each part by cable connection for safety relief are also equipped with parachute. Its simple structure, safety easy, as the suitable hillsides, countrary wind run 5-6 steps, can fly in the sky. When it with air do relative motion, due to the air role in paraglider designers produce aerodynamic (lift and drag), and can therefore manned flying off for gliding.

Dynamic triangle wing is a kind of engine equipped with suspension hang gliding, according to the truck allocation maximum flying height 6,000 meters, cruising speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Power was born in Europe, triangle wing due to its simple and convenient for dismantling manipulation, high security and tourism and entertainment and aerial photography function of advantages, which spread all over the world. As the name suggests, triangle wing are the subject of a plane by technology high content of aviation aluminum and carbon fiber material composition of triangular wing, seat rear is aeroengine and propeller, the pilot, mainly by pushing, pull back to control this only big bird ". Driving power triangle wing on hover, attend the air party and all kinds of competition has become an increasingly popular in urban fashion movement.

Dynamic triangle wing in land, grassland mountain area can quickly landing field site etc. The body structure with low gravity center, wing double insurance, can hang point single/double flight, or coach flight, traction flight. Dynamic triangle wing can quickly fold, facilitate storage and transport, if add pontoon, can be in water landing.

Dynamic triangle wing purposes

Dynamic triangle wing can be used to tourism and leisure flight and aerial photography, forest fire prevention, farm homework, traction gliding, cross-country flight, celebration advertising, geological prospecting, bungee jumping, fast transportation, public security, army LSL task and urgent attention.

The characteristics of dynamic triangle wing

Dynamic triangle wing flight slow speed, height is low, the appropriate sightseeing, aerial etc homework. Small volume, occupies little space, Don't need professional airport, hangar. Open seat storehouse, advantage to fly. Wing but fold, easy also transport. Take-off distance is short, do not need special runway. The machine at low prices. Belong to hang sports equipment, need not general aviation license. Driving manipulation of simple, fully enjoy the fun. Trolley center position design is low, have excellent safety. Have enviably safety record.

Hang gliding and paragliders difference

(1) hang gliding a rigid frame, can maintain a wing of triangular shape. The body The canopy is paragliders by air pressure to maintain its spindle, oval, olive shape shape.

(2) hang gliding of aerodynamically structures are anacreontic, its flight faster than paragliders much faster.

(3) hang gliding pilots general suspension in wing body below, its body leaning type flying a worm pupa outsourcing as though a punching bag. Paragliders pilots general is half lay half sat in a sofa type seat belt (sometimes for whole lie type, such as race seat belt), chest have two main link with the main umbrella manipulation of the belt connection.

(4) control: hang gliding is to use the body's centre of gravity before moving to manipulate: by gravity push lever deceleration, - Pull the lever gravity acceleration; before leaning - Right push lever moves left turn left; focus - Left push lever right shift focus - turn right. Paragliders is to use two manipulate rope control direction, and airfoil parachute similar, pull left hand - left, Pull right hand - turn right, Pull hands - slowing down.

Hang gliding control

Hang gliding is by moving the pilot on the wing body barycenter position to achieve control. The pilot through a sling hanging in hang gliding below (so called hang gliding "hang gliding"), and as a consequence of this condole belt at the end of the forward, backward, left, right four direction, to change the hang gliding's centre of gravity. So, hang gliding can go according to the pilot's ideas about pitching or before, and through these actions tilt control hang gliding fly speed and flight direction.

Hang gliding flight level

This depends largely on hang gliding was flight conditions. The current flight record is farthest 480km, highest 6000 meters. Above all have been FAA confirmation record. Clear point said, again summer in the western United States can be generally fly to 1500 meters to 3000m, flight distance can be more than 160 kilometers.
