Hang glider
Paragliders, as a rule, consist of delta-shaped wings that allow one or two glider pilots, suspended in a harness system, to perform certain maneuvers during flight. These wings are made of material (usually fabric) stretched over a rigid frame, typically constructed from metal tubes and including a horizontal control rod in the middle. Other types of paragliders may have different shapes, but they are structurally and aerodynamically similar to delta-winged paragliders.
