What is a "hang glider"?
A hang glider is a type of lightweight, non-motorized aircraft designed for a person to fly while suspended from it. The glider consists of a flexible wing frame made from aluminum or other light materials, covered with a fabric that forms the wing surface. The pilot is attached to the glider by a harness and controls the flight by shifting their body weight to steer. Hang gliders are designed for launching from elevated locations like hills or mountains, and they rely on air currents to stay in the air.
