Hang glider with wing covering trailing edge - which is fixed to transverse tube linking leading edge, backbone-tubes and curved under-wing frames

摘要

The hang glider has a delta-shaped wing comprising a load carrying tube frame with a flexible covering, and facilities for supporting the pilot. The frame has a central longitudinal main spar and leading-edge spars. A transverse tube(6) connecting the leading edge (2) and main(1) spars runs along the trailing edge. The wing covering(4) is secured to this tube and frames (5) shaped to curve the covering, giving it an aerodynamically advantageous profile, run longitudinally from the leading edge to the transverse tube. Additional flat surfaces(9) extend rearwards from that tube.
