What
is parapenting?
Parapenting is a lightweight and flexible glider. Glider
because to fly, you don't need a motor nor to be lighter
than air and it consists only in taking off and landing,
without help and on your own.
Your flight obeys the laws of "aerodynamics"
that come from the fruit of the movement of the wing of
the glider in the air. This way the glider transforms
the heights into a distance thanks to the flight.
Parts of a glider:
Surface: square meters that cover the
surface of the ground when laid out.
Projected surface: square
meters that will be occupied on the ground once inflated.
Cord: length between the
attack border and the escape border
Importance: length between stabilizers
Length: relationship between cord and
importance
Thickness: length between exterior and
interior
