Hang Glider History
Project: Global project for comprehensive history of hang glider designing, construction, and application.
Your hang glider history notes for publication are invited: notes@hanggliderhistory.com
Note: Herein the various PG formats are generically a subset of hang gliders, as are other gliding parachutes. Also, hung-mass parasol-dominant gliders and kite-glider systems are understood in this history as hang gliders. The mechanical arts shaping aircraft that have been borrowed for instructing scientific, commercial, and sport hung-mass glider systems is to be fully integrated in the history. Design and use is a fuzzy art; the fullness of hobby, scientific exploratory, sport, recreational, and practical commercial applications of hang gliders invites recognition and appreciation of many people who have instructed hang gliders' forwarding.
One of the project's tools: Forum
Year 2008 was
the (at least) 100th anniversary
of the cable-stayed triangle control frame (TCF)
with pilot tethered behind TCF for hang gliders.
Long live the the TCF ! Will it be replaced?
