Since the beginning of time, man has looked skywards and dreamed of flying, free as a bird, silently and effortlessly gliding across the sky, taking advantage of the warm, rising, currents of air and gazing down upon the world beneath.
Since then, each successive generation has nurtured this dream of flying until, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the dream finally became a reality thanks to Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, brave pioneers indeed. From these first, tentative, leaps into the sky, on a wing and a prayer, aviation has developed and advanced at such a rate that it has changed the world in a mere 100 years. Even general aviation is now very sophisticated, complex and expensive.
However, armed with a detailed understanding of the principles of flight, hang gliders and the sport of hang gliding have developed allowing us the privilege of rediscovering those early, pioneering, days. Through an imaginative combination of advanced aerodynamics and space age materials we now have the modern hang glider. It is now possible for almost anyone to fly, limited only by the weather and an individual pilot’s skill, enthusiasm and determination.
