Hang Gliding

Hang Gliding

Hang gliding, the sport of flying, was made popular in the United States in the 1970's. The hang glider, which looks like a large kite, is made of a synthetic fabric. This triangular sail is attached to a light aluminum frame that is about 9.8 m (32") wide. The pilot of the glider is suspended from the apparatus by a harness, steering and regulating the speed of the craft using a control bar. MORE! [BM] {NR}
