Today i have made video on hang gliders :

 Here is the video about it:

                                        

 Hang gliding is a sport which uses hang glider.

hang gliders means light weight no powered aircraft . For the launching of hang gliders they have two methods hill top and aerotow.The old name of Hang glider is pogallow wing. Now let us learn about the aerotow launching.

aerotow - use a normal aeroplane with pull force .

hill top -  From the top of the hill they will jump with hanglider and it will glide.

There are 6 parts of the hang glider. They are :

1) Frame - For structure of the plane made by aluminum.

2) Wing -  To make it lift made up of Dacron or Mylor material

3) keel - To give stability

4)Ribs -Attaches wings and frame.

5)Harness - Hanging part for holding.

6) Control Bar - For controlling.

We will have a doubt that, how would you control the hang glider.  As we would have seen in movies that we will shift our weight to go left or right. But how does this happen, let us find it out. For knowing this we need to learn what is center of gravity.

*Center of gravity - Where the high amount of weight is there there will be center of gravity.

Where the center of gravity is, That side only the plane will turn. So this is how we turn the hang Glider
