Is Rogallo partly preempted here with string hold of gliding wing?
"Exposed head on to a wind of 18 to 20 ft. per second, the body being inclined
at an angle of 1 in 10 and the wings at 1 in 6 (about 10°), this apparatus
lifted up clear of the ground the weight of two men besides its own, making a
total of 440 lbs.! The thrust or end resistance did not exceed 17.6 lbs. M.
Goupil tested this several times, and expresses himself as surprised at
the low resistance to penetration against the wind evidenced by this
apparatus, which was mounted upon two small wheels."
