Paraglider Which is more efficient-a modern, intermediate hang glider or paraglider?
Sorry, sink rate.
Out of the gliding aircraft
Glide ratio (height conversion to distance)
Sailplane (from 30:1 to 60:1) > Hang Glider (12:1) > Paraglider (7:1) > Space Shuttle (1:1)
Sink rate (Height lost per second)
Sailplane > Rigid Wing > Flex Wing > Paraglider > Space Shuttle
Although note that both a hang glider and sailplane normally flies above the min sink airspeed, for safety reasons, on a ridge, so the paraglider can sometimes outperform both practically with sink rate. The space shuttle does not often ridge fly
Polar curve (Speed to drag ratio)
Sailplane > Rigid Wing > Flex Wing > Paraglider > Space Shuttle
Top speed?
Space Shuttle (Mach 24) > Sailplane (150+ mph) > Hangglider (90+ mph) > Paraglider (32mph)
The Severn Bore filmed yesterday from a paramotor.

Edit. Have a friend who owns a paramotor. Think I'll post the vid on facebook. It will realy pee him off!

Sometimes don't you wish you could have a very simple life away from people, politics, religion, technology etc and just be a bird? That was uplifting - thank you!

Paramotoring is the ultimate form of personal powered flight. This is the aviation sport for everyone with a tight budget but a thirst to fly. A paramotor outfit doesn`t demand airfields and hangars. It will fit in its owner`s car and can be flown from fields smaller than football fields. In many countries, including Britain, no license is required. This book is a broad introduction to all aspects of this young sport. From inflating the wing to understanding an aviation chart, it deals step-by-step with all the skills and knowledge needed to fly safely and confidently. There is sufficient information here to provide a sound basis for acquiring a certificate of competency to fly paramotors in many countries.
