The glide ratio of paragliders ranges from
9.3 for recreational wings to about 11.3 for modern competition models,[16]
reaching in some cases up to 13.[17] For comparison, a typical skydiving
parachute will achieve about 3:1 glide. A hang glider ranges from 9.5 for
recreational wings to about 16.5 for modern competition models. An idling
(gliding) Cessna 152 light aircraft will achieve 9:1. Some sailplanes can
achieve a glide ratio of up to 72:1.
The speed range of paragliders is typically
20–75 kilometres per hour (12–47 mph), from stall speed to maximum speed.
Beginner wings will be in the lower part of this range, high-performance wings
in the upper part of the range.[note 2]
For storage and carrying, the wing is
usually folded into a stuffsack (bag), which can then be stowed in a large
backpack along with the harness. For pilots who may not want the added weight
or fuss of a backpack, some modern harnesses include the ability to turn the
harness inside out such that it becomes a backpack.

About that time, David Barish was
developing the "sail wing" (single-surface wing) for recovery of NASA
space capsules – "slope soaring was a way of testing out ... the Sail
Wing."[5] After tests on Hunter Mountain, New York, in September 1965, he
went on to promote slope soaring as a summer activity for ski resorts.[6][7]
Author Walter Neumark wrote Operating
Procedures for Ascending Parachutes, and in 1973 he and a group of enthusiasts
with a passion for tow-launching PCs and ram-air parachutes broke away from the
British Parachute Association to form the British Association of Parascending Clubs
(which later became the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association). In
1997, Neumark was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Aero Club of the UK.
Authors Patrick Gilligan (Canada) and Bertrand Dubuis (Switzerland) wrote the
first flight manual, The Paragliding Manual in 1985, coining the word
paragliding.

滑翔伞是一批热爱跳伞、滑翔翼的飞行人员发明的一种飞行运动,目前在欧美和日本等国非常流行,在中国台湾也掀起了一股旋风。滑翔伞与传统的降落伞不同,它是一种飞行器。很久以前,人类为寻找一双翅膀作过无数次的思考和探索。在古老的中国大地上,留下了像“驾车遨游太空”、“嫦娥奔月”等许多关于人类尝试飞行的美好传说。当今,滑翔伞的诞生,为人类插上了飞翔的翅膀。人们自由地翱翔于天空,享受着“脱离”地球引力的宁静与美妙.滑翔伞起源于20世纪70年代初的欧洲,当时,一些登山者从山上乘降落伞滑翔而**验到了一种美好的感觉和乐趣,从而创立了一个新兴的航空体育项目。**初的滑翔伞是借鉴于飞机跳伞使用的翼型方伞,它主要以下降为主,下降速度快,安全性能好。通过二十多年的发展和演变。现在的滑翔伞**长飞行17小时,**远飞行距离超过300公里,它体现了一种人与自然的交流,备受崇尚自然者的喜爱。
The next step in the launch is to bring the
wing into the lift zone. There are two techniques for accomplishing this
depending on wind conditions. In light wind this is usually done after turning
to the front, steering with the feet towards the low wing tip, and applying
light brakes in a natural sense to keep the wing horizontal. In stronger wind
conditions it is often found to be easier to remain facing downwind while
moving slowly and steadily backwards into the wind.
Knees bent to load the wing, foot
adjustments to remain central and minimum use of Cs or Brakes to keep the wing
horizontal. Pirouette when the feet are close to lifting. This option has two
distinct advantages. a) The pilot can see the wing centre marker (an aid to
centring the feet) and, if necessary, b) the pilot can move briskly towards the
wing to assist with an emergency deflation.
With either method it is essential to check
"traffic" across the launch face before committing to flight.
Europe has seen the greatest growth in
paragliding, with France alone registering in 2011 over 25,000 active pilots.

The paraglider wing or canopy is usually
what is known in engineering as a "ram-air airfoil". Such wings
comprise two layers of fabric that 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 keeps the wing inflated, thus
maintaining its shape. When inflated, the wing's cross-section has the typical
teardrop aerofoil shape. Modern paraglider wings are made of high-performance
non-porous materials such as ripstop polyester[12] or nylon fabric.[note 1]

This can be very dangerous, because now the
forces on the line have to be controlled by the moving object itself, which is
almost impossible to do, unless stretchy rope and a pressure/tension meter
(dynamometer) is used. Static line towing with stretchy rope and a load cell as
a tension meter has been used in Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and other Eastern
European countries for over twenty years (under the name Malinka) with about
the same safety record as other forms of towing.[21] One more form of towing is
hand towing. This is where 1−3 people pull a paraglider using a tow rope of up
to 500 feet. The stronger the wind, the fewer people are needed for a
successful hand tow.[22] Tows up to 300 feet have been accomplished, allowing
the pilot to get into a lift band of a nearby ridge or row of buildings and
ridge-soar in the lift the same way as with a regular foot launch.[23]
