  1. What is a paraglider?
    A paraglider is a foot-launched, ram-air, aerofoil canopy, designed to be flown and landed with no other energy requirements than the relative air movement and gravity. 
  2. What is the difference between a hang glider and a paraglider?
    A hang glider has a rigid frame maintaining the shape of the wing, with the pilot usually flying in a prone position.  The paraglider canopy shape is maintained by its internal air pressure and the pilot is suspended in a sitting or supine position.  Paragliders fly slower and this has some safety advantages compared to hang gliders.  It also has some limitations concerning strong winds.
