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.

Radio
Radio communications are used in training,
to communicate with other pilots, and to report where and when they intend to
land. These radios normally operate on a range of frequencies in different
countries—some authorised,[18][19] some illegal but tolerated locally. Some
local authorities (e.g., flight clubs) offer periodic automated weather updates
on these frequencies. In rare cases, pilots use radios to talk to airport
control towers or air traffic controllers. Many pilots carry a cell phone so
they can call for pickup should they land away from their intended point of
destination.
GPS
GPS (global positioning system) is a
necessary accessory when flying competitions, where it has to be demonstrated
that way-points have been correctly passed. The recorded GPS track of a flight
can be used to analyze flying technique or can be shared with other pilots. GPS
is also used to determine drift due to the prevailing wind when flying at
altitude, providing position information to allow restricted airspace to be
avoided and identifying one's location for retrieval teams after landing out in
unfamiliar territory. 虹口区职业滑翔伞新报价
Reverse launches have a number of
advantages over a forward launch. It is more straightforward to inspect the
wing and check if the lines are free as it leaves the ground. In the presence
of wind, the pilot can be tugged toward the wing, and facing the wing makes it
easier to resist this force and safer in case the pilot slips (as opposed to
being dragged backwards). However, the movement pattern is more complex than
forward launch, and the pilot has to hold the brakes in a correct way and turn
to the correct side so he does not tangle the lines. These launches are
normally attempted with a reasonable wind speed, making the ground speed
required to pressurise the wing much lower.
The launch is initiated by the hands
raising the leading edge with the As. As it rises the wing is controlled more
by centring the feet than by use of the brakes or Cs. With mid level wings (EN
C and D) the wing may try to "overshoot" the pilot as it nears the
top. This is checked with Cs or brakes. The wing becomes increasingly sensitive
to the Cs and brakes as its internal air pressure rises.
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]
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.

In some modern paragliders (from the 1990s
onwards), especially higher-performance wings, some of the cells of the leading
edge are closed to form a cleaner aerodynamic profile. Holes in the internal
ribs allow a free flow of air from the open cells to these closed cells to
inflate them, and also to the wingtips, which are also closed.[13]
The pilot is supported underneath the wing
by a network of suspension lines. These start with two sets of risers made of
short (40 cm) lengths of strong webbing. Each set is attached to the harness by
a carabiner, one on each side of the pilot, and each riser of a set is generally
attached to lines from only one row of its side of wing. At the end of each
riser of the set, there is a small delta maillon with a number (2 – 5) of lines
attached, forming a fan. These are typically 4 – 5 metres long, with the end
attached to 2 − 4 further lines of around 2 m, which are again joined to a
group of smaller, thinner lines. In some cases this is repeated for a fourth
cascade.
