Technical Focus & Flight Safety
A deep dive into the technical aspects of free flight on topics such as fundamental aerodynamics to cutting-edge innovations. This section provides comprehensive knowledge about the mechanics, equipment, and technological advances in paragliding and how they happen.
Flight Mechanics
Fundamental knowledge for pilots to make informed decisions during flight and maintain control in various conditions.
Explore the physics and principles that explain the complex interplay of forces and principles that enable controlled flight while understanding the behaviour of a wing with regards to various forces acting on both the wing and pilot during different phases of flight.
Uncover key aspects of topics such as the relationship between airspeed and angle of attack, the effects of weight shift control, and how exactly the air flows around the wing, the balance between gravity and lift etc.
