A '''hang glider''' is a light and unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft. Most modern hang gliders are made of an aluminium alloy or composite-framed fabric ("parachute fabric") wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness suspended from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame, but other devices, including modern aircraft flight control systems, may be used. Modern technology gives pilots the ability to soar for hours, gain thousands of meters of altitude in thermal updrafts, perform aerobatics, and glide cross-country for hundreds of kilometres. |

A hang glider is a light and unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft. Most modern hang gliders are made of an aluminium alloy or composite-framed fabric ("parachute fabric") wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness suspended from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame, but other devices, including modern aircraft flight control systems, may be used. Modern technology gives pilots the ability to soar for hours, gain thousands of meters of altitude in thermal updrafts, perform aerobatics, and glide cross-country for hundreds of kilometres.
