·         paraglider   is a gliding kite system and
is an object of three essential parts:
1. resistive set, 2. tether set, 3. wing set.   Paragliders are members of a proper subset of hang gliders. Paragliders are members of a proper subset of kites. Paragliders are members of a proper subset of gliders. Paragliders have paravane analogues for water operation with the system gliding in water.

In brevity, writers and talkers focus on the wing as "paraglider" without pausing to rehearse that their focus is on the wing part of the paraglider.   Sellers of sport "wings" often sell "paragliders" without really selling the complete paraglider, as what they are selling is just the wing part and tether-set part, leaving the buyer of the wing to provide the the third part: the mass that will make the object complete as a gliding system. Some sellers one day may sell the wing separate from the tether set while leaving the user to provide separately the tether set to fit purpose.

Without the resistive set there is not a paraglider. Without the tether set coupling the resistive set and the wing, there is no paraglider. A wing alone is not a paraglider (except via the abbreviation language).   A paraglider may use very many kinds of wings from solid to fully limp wings, depending on design and purpose. Paragliders may free glide in water or in atmospheres or a combination of fluids at once.  Sport paragliding is one corner of the broad extensive paragliding activity. Toy paraglider unmanned and huge scientific industrial working paragliders span the field.  
Note: Many hang gliders are paragliders, but not all (when a hang glider wing has no tether to its payload/pilot, then such hang glider is not a paraglider type; but the very popular sport hang glider that uses one (or several) main tethers to the pilot resistive set is a paraglider, like the Falcon 3 hang glider is a paraglider).  All sport paragliders of the Jalbert parafoil, Rogallo wing, Para-Command, and Barish Sailwing evolutes are in a proper subset of the superset hang gliders. Some hang gliders are not kite systems, but all paragliders are kite systems. An example of a hang glider that is not a paraglider is the Otto Lilienthal hang gliders where the pilot hangs directly from the wing without a tether set.

In the sport of paragliding, the pilot becomes part of the resistive set or anchor; he or she first ground kites, then walk kites or sometimes run kites, and then kite glides; in glide the paraglider is a gliding kite system The rich history of kites provide a garden for designers; they may take any kite system and explore just how well the system does when the anchor is let to fall freely through the air.

''Paraglider is a gliding kite having its wing, kite lines, and moving resistive masses.'' 
                                  Olympian high jumper Joe Faust, founder of World ParaGliding Association.     
 

Ladder paraglider is a gliding ladder kite     CoopIP/LadderKite.html           
 

o    [[[  There is a firm source of some sectors of contemporary confusion. The superset is hang gliders; all paragliders form a proper subset within the superset of hang gliders. So, it is improper just to set a "comparison" as no amount of fudging will make a paraglider be not a hang glider; paragliders are string-only-to-payload gliding wings which wings may be limp or with very much stiffening even with sticks and rigid wings; the system glides through an atmosphere. One cannot make a paraglider stop being a hang glider; but there are some hang gliders that are not paragliders. Without carefully sorting this matter, there will ever be confusion. Woglom in 1800s book brought in strongly "para-" in "parakites". Let the anchor move, which is mechanically done even on the ground, but move in free-falling brings on a the gliding form of parakites to be called paragliders; NASA picked up on such terms and did leadership that stuck in patent systems to this day; the paraglider may have metal booms, stiffened inflated booms, battens, even rigid-plate wings; but the string support of payload---that anchors during the glide is part of the sorting key in this matter. The recent faction of sport users do have paragliders, but that faction errs by thinking that they have the only paragliders that exist; no, paragliders have existed and still exist outside of their faction. In the hang glider world (holds paragliders as a proper subset) there are hang gliders that are not paragliders, e.g. the hang gliders where no tether line is used during the gliding, that is, the pilot enters the rigid airframe after taking off. Differently the hang gliders that have a main set of tethers to hold the suspended pilot during glide are the type of hang glider that is a paraglider; hang gliding holds non-paragliders and paragliders; all paragliders are hang gliders; these things apply whether the suspended payload is a living human or a dead rock. The FAI is a private org that handles a faction of activity; its definitions supply its factions and interests, but such does not rule the aviation and engineering culture or the mechanical facts about aircraft function; their definitions and classes are for their private noteworthy use; one can note "FAI defines ___" but that does not force matters on all the other users of devices. So, e.g., there are three sorts of Rogallo Wing hang gliders: 1. rigid wing with pilot during glide playing himself into the airframe,2. airframed paraglider where the pilot as payload is suspended by a kiteline set while grabing the airframe to control it; 3. a limp-canopy paraglider (perhaps with stiffening all the to very airframed or even fully rigid--but where the payload or pilot is suspended without being able to grab the canopy above in a rigid coupling. So, the article on paragliding will ever have a challenge until it sorts out the mechanical basis of its subject.

o    First uses of the term applied to a wide-spectrum of gliders including those with structural beams. Such remains the case today, but not in all user factions. One user faction: the sport of "paragliding" hardly respects airframed paragliders while that sport's literature holds a paraglider as a string-controlled limp canopy kite system.

·         Paragliding is the launching, flying, and landing of gliding kite systems; the mission of paragliding may include humans onboard or not onboard; paragliding may be done for peace or war, for commerce or play, for model testing or for gliding oneself in sport and recreation. Paragliding is the flying of a paraglider at any size and with any payload for any purpose. Model builders do model paragliding via radio control or just passive gliding of unmanned paragliders. UAV industrial paragliding includes the use of mission-specific unmanned paragliders.

o    Analysis of raw data:     Various levels of analysis of the fatalities and injurious incidents occur by analysts, researchers, organizational representatives, authors, participants, accident committees, etc. The quality of accident analysis varies widely from poor to high. Branching what is in focus in an analysis matters; looking at incidents in non-sport (industry, military, commerce) paragliding is sometimes set in focus. Sport paragliding is frequently studied in two large branches: 1. the airframed paraglider (segment of hang gliders) , and 2. the non-airframed paraglider (proper subset of hang gliders) popular in sport paragliding. Further branching of study is found: the non-paraglider hang glider that has not even one tether in the tether set (thus empty tether set) like the Otto Lilienthal gliders, the Swift, the Batso, the VJ-23, etc., may be studied in itself as to fatalities and injurious incidents, the most famous of which is the 2000th flight of Otto Lilienthal himself when the crash resulted in his death. Then a branch of accident analysis often in focus is the paraglider that has an airframe and the tethered pilot has the option to directly couple with the airframe for controlling the flight of the glide (like the Falcon 3 hang glider or Seed Wing's Sensor710 hang glider which are airframed paragliders that has such a short tether set that permits the pilot able to grab the airframe for control purposes).

• *Universal Paragliding Design Flaw (UPDF): Paragliders are parachutes modified to soar at the expense of stability and safety. The canopy of a paraglider can suddenly lose its aerodynamic shape in normal atmospheric turbulence, collapse and fall. A 360-degree turn can tighten into a locked-in or nose-down spiral dive where control cannot be regained. A collapse below about 400-feet does not allow enough time for emergency reserve deployment, often resulting in serious injury or death -- see the Paraglider Dead Man's Curve (PDMC). Because these incidents have been occurring for 30 years with over 1,700 deaths in both powered and unpowered paragliders worldwide and show no signs of decreasing, on August 22, 2016, Rick Masters has placed the term "Universal Paragliding Design Flaw (UPDF)" into the lexicon of paragliding.

After that the mixing did not stop, even up to today, albeit in some factions of users, the terms take on dominance for images of one type of wing or another.   Using the Francis Rogallo all-flexible Rogallo Wing :: parawing. Stiffening the parawing brought parawings that were stiffened.  When in glider: paraglider  (all flexible or stiffened).  Rogallo paragliders use Rogallow Wing (parawing) either fully limp or with the allowance of stiffening (many methods).

        Once a patent has been granted with respect to a particular country, anyone who wishes to exploit the invention commercially in that country must obtain the authorization of the patentee. In principle, anyone who exploits a patented invention without the patentee’s authorization commits an illegal act. The protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years. Once a patent expires, the protection ends, and the invention enters the public domain. The patentee no longer holds exclusive rights to the invention, which
then becomes available for commercial exploitation by others.
             The patent owner’s exclusive rights generally consist of the following: in the case of a product patent, the right to prevent third parties without the owner’s consent from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing for these purposes the product;
           The patentee is not given a statutory right to exploit his own invention, but rather a statutory right to prevent others from commercially exploiting it. He may give permission, or grant a license, to other parties to use the invention on mutually agreed terms. The patentee may also sell his right to the invention to someone else, who will then become the new owner of the patent.

• active air       Air that has robust helicities occurring. Thermic conditions, obstacles, industry, vehicles, machines, other aircraft, birds, trees, wind turbines, kites, ground formations,  buildings, combinations of things,  etc. are among some of the sources resulting in helicities that sum to active air. Active air is a normal characteristic of the atmosphere. Natural creatures have evolved to survive unique levels of strength of active air and to avoid the levels that exceed that strength. Humans, relatively new to flight, continue to struggle to recognize what levels of strength not to exceed with their various flying devices.
• Helicity
  A property of a moving fluid which represents the potential for helical flow (i.e. flow which follows the pattern of a corkscrew) to evolve. Helicity is proportional to the strength of the flow, the amount of vertical wind shear, and the amount of turning in the flow (i.e. vorticity). Atmospheric helicity is computed from the vertical wind profile in the lower part of the atmosphere (usually from the surface up to 3 km), and is measured relative to storm motion. Higher values of helicity (generally, around 150 m2/s2 or more) favor the development of mid-level rotation (i.e. mesocyclones). Extreme values can exceed 600 m2/s2.

·         perpetual high altitude operation
June 3, 2100: As reported previously, after the Leuven conference we had a group meeting at Moritz's office & discussed the challenges of "perpetual" high altitude operation, particularly large arrays. Moritz presented the basic calculations that predict strict limitations on maximum altitude. Tether weight & wind drag accumulate with altitude & especially when wind slacks one must come down or waste large amounts of power to "reverse pump". Lets review means that ease the constraints. Kites can be put all along a tether (a train) to mitigate increasing weight & drag with altitude. With multiple tethers, some can be leaned into the wind & develop some lift. A tether & kite sequence is progressively tapered, with larger sections lower. The maximum altitude state represents potential energy "in the bank" & AWECS aloft can be driven for while by sink, promoting high capacity factor. In dying wind the heaviest components can be run down promptly on halyards to greatly reduce sink rate & reverse-pumping demand. A remnant structure of aerostat lift can "reserve" a presence in the sky during calm. In rising wind the sequence reverses & added power raises everything nicely. Moritz also explained his intuition that a kite system deployment sequence be naturally reversible to recover from a fault or adapt to any dynamic need. One does not want unrecoverable conditions such as, say, a failed ballistic launch might represent.    coolIP

·         "Pilot Nose" Kite Arch Feature      AWES6460   A "Pilot Nose" is being incorporated in to the 300m2 Tarp Arch under construction in Austin. It will serve two key functions- 1) as the basic launch-or-land-on-demand mechanism, and 2) to prevent or better recover from luff.

Much as a bull can be controlled by a ring in its nose, it should be easy for a single person to pull on the nose line to bring the kite down, or slack it to let the kite park at its zenith. Peter Lynn uses a similar line for his giant manta-ray kites.

Kites are subject to luffing in turbulence, and a kite arch can still luff, even though a full-span luff is unlikely. The new Pilot Nose has a sort of ski-tip curve to its bamboo spine that strongly keeps the center form luffing, and speeds recovery in a luff.

The Pilot Nose component is being developed with the Pablo Ortiz family of Austin, known for their long-standing dominance in the DIY large-kite competition, the climax event of the local kite festival. This year they won with 83yr old Pablo Ortiz Sr. handling the kite alongside his son and grandson, also named Pablo, and of course the many extended family members who haul the ropes. The Pilot Nose is in effect the Ortiz bamboo and plastic kite embedded into the tarp arch as a forward stabilizer and control surface.

§  Production phase followed by costing phase; reel-in phase followed by reel-out phase; generation phase followed by energy-cost phase (while lowering resistance of the wing set).

o    Note: By use of loop, a system may rotate continuously in one direction; in such, a return sector of the loop is phased to low resistance; such loop tactic hides the pumping cycle by continuous powering that is reduced by the continuous cost of the residual resistance in the return-low-resistance sector of the loop.  In the power sector of the loop, the wings may be either drag based, HAWP based, or large cross-winding-wing based. ~JpF, June 2, 2012.    [[Entry is on hot seat for peer review:    AWES6481     AWES6485 ]]

o    pumping cycles in AWES come in a variety of forms, some full drag-based and some based on crosswind techniques.
