Parachute gliding
PG Activity Sector
Skydivers and parachutists and others also use gliding kites
with high wing loading; such devices are parachutes: yes, but also are
gliding kites and also are machine paragliders and thus gliders. The
kiting may begin following a jump from any sort of aircraft or tower or
mountain, etc. or from a towing launch. Formation flying is a
special activity in sport parachuting. |
