March of Intellect, art. Paul Pry (pseudonym for William
Hath (1795-1840), March of Intellect, 1828. Etching with hand coloring.
The art shows an early version of free-flight paragliding usingt
single-tether; the pilot pod has some aerodynamic surfaces with drag
enough to allow distance gliding and soaring, especially if the single line
was very long ...which could not easily be shown on the drawing. #t=1
Paraglider with a kite at each end of the tether; the lower end is the
resistive set r, the upper wing is a wing; the integrity is a paraglider in
free-flight kite gliding; year of the drawing c1828. This predates the
Woglom find described in book Parakites, published in 1896. Notice
also the wingsuit gliding mad, balloon platform, tethered water hulls,
