Rogallo wing — in favor of using round parachutes.ConstructionA Rogallo wing is composed of two partial conic surfaces with both cones pointing forward. Slow Rogallo wings have wide, shallow cones. Fast subsonic and supersonic Rogallo wings have long, narrow… … Wikipedia
Tailless aircraft — A tailless aircraft (often tail less) traditionally has all its horizontal control surfaces on its main wing surface. It has no horizontal stabilizer either tailplane or canard foreplane (nor does it have a second wing in tandem arrangement). A… … Wikipedia
Ultralight trike — An ultralight trike, also known as a flex wing trike, weight shift control aircraft, microlight trike, deltatrike[1] or motorized deltaplane,[2] is a type of powered hang glider using a high performance Rogallo wing coupled to a propeller powered … Wikipedia
History of hang gliding — Hang gliding is an air sport employing a foot launchable aircraft known as a hang glider. Typically, hang gliders are composed of an aluminium or composite framed fabric wing. The pilot is ensconced in a harness depending from the airframe, and… … Wikipedia
Man-lifting kite — Roald Amundsen, the polar explorer, is lifted from the ground using a man lifting kite during tests in 1909. Man lifter War Kite designed by … Wikipedia
Triangle control frame — The triangle control frame (TCF or A frame) is widely used in hang gliders, powered hang gliders, and ultralight aircraft. TCF is just one of many sorts of control solutions. TCF resolves a means of using weight shifting attitude control in… … Wikipedia

Wing configuration — For aircraft configurations in general, including fuselage, tail and powerplant configuration, see Aircraft. For rotary winged aircraft types, see Rotorcraft. For direct lift and compound or hybrid types, see Powered lift. Fixed wing aircraft,… … Wikipedia
Kite types — Colorful delta wing kite Kites are tethered flying objects which fly by using aerodynamic lift, requiring wind, (or towing), for generation of airflow over the lifting surfaces. Contents 1 Kite … Wikipedia
Waverider — A waverider is a hypersonic aircraft design that improves its supersonic lift to drag ratio by producing a lifting surface built out of the shock waves being generated by its own flight, a technique known as compression lift. To date the only… … Wikipedia
Atmospheric reentry — refers to the movement of human made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the edge of space. This article primarily addresses the process of controlled reentry… … Wikipedia
