Paraglider hang gliders of NASA and her sub contractors Ryan,
North American, and Goodyear and others: , partial study
HERE. NASA hang gliders came in a vast variety
from 1. Fully limp Rogallo wing, parasail, gliding parachute (type
of hang glider) 2. Inflated boom Rogallo paraglider hang glider
3. Metal-boomed and sailed hang gliders in the PARESEV program
4. and power-off gliders that were with power on option
Etc. NASA paraglider hang gliders in the PARESEV program were hang
glide piloted by eight test pilots including hang glider test pilot Neil
Armstrong, first man to walk on the Moon. The NASA did not choose the
hang simplicity of the A-frame that was already evident in hang gliding
in at least 1908 in Breslau .... the undercarriage control triangle
control frame cable-stayed as is used much in contemporary hang gliders;
instead they protected the astronaut pilots in the Paresev program while
they kited and released sail loading at a high level to more fit their
program aims, even while fully knowing about Francis Rogallo's late
1950s pointing for recreational use of the involved hang glider wing
that was winging the Paresev variants of hang glider.
Recall: Have an unpowered system: wing with hung mass for unpowered
gliding to get hang glider. Hence,
canopy paragliders of any size form a subset of hang gliders; gliding
parachutes form a subset of hang gliders; various stiffening of the wing
and tension hang members still brings hang glider mechanically. Hang
gliders may be tiny 1 gram items or be massed at 500 tons; hang gliders
may be uninhabited by live animals or humans or inhabited by animals or
humans; indeed it is difficult to clean off all living microbes from
materials touched by humans.

Walter
Neumark, "The Future of Soaring", Flight magazine, 14 May 1954.
[ ] Verify Notice that G. H. Lee replied to the May article by
writing a July 2, 1954, article "Thoughts on Soaring, A Second
Opinion on Auxiliary Engines and Ultra-light Designs" G. H.
Lee took issue with Neumark: "THE article by Mr. Walter Neumark on "The^Future
of Soaring" (Flight, May 14th) requires, in my opinion, a
reply. The major part of his contribution is based on what I believe to
be a false premise, which is then developed by reasoning not wholly
sound (and, at times, by irrelevant and inapplicable analogies) to
conclusions, with which I profoundly disagree, on the important subject
of amateur flying.
Mr. Neumark's attractive and persuasive style adds to the need for a
rejoinder." Lee coins term Aerial Delight.

Note: What might be a neat cross-referenced, Lee mentions Neumark's
remarks about Tondokuro III. With regard to the Tondokuro III, I find it
hard to believe that proper strength factors could be reached on a
32|ft-span machine for 501b structure-weight. ""

- "no wind" "zero
wind"
- Some practitioners say "no wind" when there is no
horizontal wind while they sneak in use of vertical updrafts or thermals
or vertical downdrafts. So, their "no wind" still has wind. Mining the
energy of updrafts and downdrafts is using wind.
- Full calm with no appreciable movement of air in
any direction (oblique, up, down, around, horizontal) is very rare;
so there are degrees of calm.
- "no-wind kiting" is understood by Horvath as allowing
thermals. But the AWEIA calm kiting
climbing (CKC) contest intends for "no-wind kiting" to mean that
there is not occurring updraft or downdraft winds in addition to no
horizontal or oblique winds.
- Discussion is open on this
or any entry in the AWE Glossary.
