Paragliding is the recreational sport lightweight, free - flying with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a hollow fabric wing whose shape is formed by its suspension lines with the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. One can stay suspended in the atmosphere with the assistance of wind for long. Para glider flights lasts many hours and man cover hundreds of kilometres though flights of 1 to 2 hours and covering some tens of kilometres. By skilful exploitation of sources of lift the pilot may gain height often climbing to a few thousand meters.
Para gliders are unique among soaring aircraft in being easily portable. The complete equipment packs into a rucksack and can be carried easily on the pilot's back in a car. This takes off from a suitable take off spot the selection of a landing place and return travel. Paragliding is related to Hang gliding also. Hang glider and Para glider launches are often found in proximity. Despite the considerable difference in equipment the two activities offer similar excitement pleasures and some pilots are involved in both sports. Tandem paragliders are designed to carry a pilot and one passenger and are larger. They usually fly faster with higher speeds and are more resistant to collapse with a slightly higher sink rate compared to solo paragliders
