Question

What are the Wing span statistics of different size hang gliders from smallest to largest

Answer 1

Answer:

Hang gliding is an air sport or leisure activity in which a pilot flies a hang glider, a small, non-motorized, foot-launched heavier-than-air aircraft.

Explanation:

• The majority of current hang gliders are constructed with an aluminium alloy or composite frame wrapped with synthetic sailcloth[1] to form a wing.
• The pilot is often hung from the airframe in a harness and controls the aircraft by moving body weight in opposition to a control frame.
• Because early hang gliders had a poor lift-to-drag ratio, pilots could only glide down short hills. Since the 1980s, pilots have been able to soar for hours, acquire thousands of feet of height on thermal updrafts, execute aerobatics, and glide cross-country for hundreds of kilometres.
• Some regulatory aspects of hang gliding are governed by the Federation Aeronautique-Internationale and national airspace controlling organisations.
• Obtaining the safety advantages of instruction is widely advised, and in many countries, it is a statutory necessity.
