What is the difference between a paraglider and a hang glider?
Paragliders and hang gliders are two types of aircraft that allow a person to take off and soar through the air without the use of engines. Although the two machines have much in common, they are still different from each other.
A paraglider is a flying machine which consists of an inflatable roof driven by airflow and supported in the air by thermal air currents. The pilot sits in a special seat, which is attached to the roof, and controls the direction of flight by changing the shape of the wing with a hand wheel and brakes.
A hang glider is a flying machine which consists of a triangular frame and a fabric roof stretched over it. The pilot lies on a special plane attached to the frame and controls the flight by changing the angle of the wings with the rudders.
One of the main differences between a paraglider and a hang glider is their design and control. The glider is simpler and easier to control, making it ideal for novice pilots. A hang glider, on the other hand, requires more experience and handling skills, as it is more sensitive to wind changes and more prone to roll.
Another difference between a paraglider and a hang glider is their ability to lift in the air. The paraglider climbs better in thermal air currents, which allows the pilot to float in the air for a long time. A hang glider, on the other hand, is more maneuverable and can fly at lower speeds, allowing it to fly in narrower and steeper gorges.
In general, paragliders and hang gliders are different types of aircraft, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice between them depends on the preferences and goals of each pilot.
