Lay out the sails, sort out the lines, put on the seat belt and take off. It takes an experienced pilot barely 5 minutes to get airborne. The 20 - 30 square metre elliptical sail surface, which weighs around 5 - 7 kg, is controlled using two control lines. Despite its ease of use, the paraglider is a powerful flying machine that can be used for hours-long and very long flights.
Paragliding is a mixture of hang gliding and parachuting and combines elements of both sports. Paragliding is controlled flying on a rectangular aerodynamically cut paraglider. Air chambers, an integrated profile and the necessary minimum speed turn a rucksack-sized package of fabric and lines into a usable flying machine.
