Hi Everyone,
FacTime welcomes you.
Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure.[1] The pilot sits in a harness or lies supine in a cocoon-like 'speed bag' suspended below a fabric wing.
Hello friends, Welcome to FacTime.
Today let us see some of the interesting Facts about Paragliding.
1. THE PARAGLIDER IS ONLY PROPELLED BY WIND
The sole propellant of a paraglider is the wind. It’s an engine-free, non-motorized form of aircraft. There is no fuel, no electricity, no battery involved!
2. YOU CAN COVER HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS
Although no engine is involved in paragliding, when conditions are favorable the flight can last a couple of hours and cover hundreds of kilometers. In fact, on 10 October 2019 Marcelo Prieto, Rafael Saladini and Rafael de Moraes Barros covered a distance of 588 kilometers in eleven hours.
3. WEIGHT LIMIT
The tandem paragliding equipment weighs about 20 kilograms that you can pack it all into a special bag and carry it like a backpack. But this paraglider can support a weight load of up to 240 kilograms.
4. PARAGLIDING IS ADDICTIVE
Despite the fact that it is the simplest and purest form of human flying, paragliding is addictive.
Paragliding is so funny, so exciting, so thrilling and so enjoyable that once you learn how to fly you’ll always be looking for another chance to share the sky with birds.
5. PARAGLIDING IS WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY
Although classified as an extreme adventure activity, paragliding (particularly, tandem paragliding) is wheel – chair friendly. In other words, any person with any physical disabilities can enjoy a paragliding flight as long as the pilot is experienced.
