Paragliding From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Paraglider Jump to: navigation search Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft . The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing.

Parafoil fully up in land-based practice. Paragliding in Swiss mountains The paraglider wing or canopy is known in aeronautical engineering as a ram-air airfoil, or parafoil . Such wings are comprised of two layers of fabric which are connected to internal supporting material in such a way as to form a row of cells. By leaving most of the cells open only at the leading edge, incoming air (ram-air pressure) keeps the wing inflated, thus maintaining its shape. When inflated, the wing's cross-section has the typical teardrop aerofoil shape.
