Gendon Subandono, the coach of the Indonesian national paragliding team, had trained two of the missing paragliders for the Asian Games, which wrapped up earlier this month in Indonesia.

Also different aerobatic maneuvers are possible with a paraglider.

As a senior in the paragliding field, I have my own emotional burden, he said.

Paragliding is taking off from mountains with a paraglider, with the possibility to fly cross country, distance, just with the use of thermals to soar.

So with some friends we started to do different tricks, like for example this jump here, I jumped from a paraglider.

The modern sailplane is superbly efficient.

It does an equilibrium glide. Highly controlled.

Watch the tail skid, Charlie. Right.

I tried to sideslip the chute, but I couldn't.

We wondered, Do they actually glide in nature?

Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet.

(c) It will return to the landing grounds through winged gliding flight

From freeflying I went on to skysurfing.

There is a tendency for people to think that hang gliding is dangerous.

Mr. Gendon recounted how, in the hours after the news of the Roa Roa Hotel collapse circulated among the paragliding community, he had desperately sent WhatsApp messages to the Palu competitors, who were taking part in the beach festival.

AA They called it their Walkalong Glider.

And this is called the Globe Skimmer, or Wandering Glider.

And then, navy pilot training, and, after college, I got into sailplane flying, power plane flying, and considered the sailplanes as a sort of hobby and fun, but got tangled up with some great professor types, who convinced me and everybody else in the field that this was a good way to get into really deep science.

And I want to set a new record, with the longest distance ever flown.

Maybe it's evolved from coming down from trees, and trying to control a glide.

So there is the landing target. Could they steer towards it with these capabilities? Here it is in the wind tunnel.

So now we were really confused, because there are no reports of it gliding.

This enables her to easily ride through the air currents as if she's sliding along on the ocean waves.

This guy is not skydiving. He's being flown like a kite, or moved around like a kite.

This is the actual video not staged, a real research video of animal gliding down. There is a red trajectory line.

There are generalists and also specialists in the field of aerodynamics in the field of building gliders.

Two stage rockets, rockets with video cameras on them, on board computers logging their flights, rocket gliders that fly back to Earth.

But that began thinking about how birds went around, and then how airplanes would, how hang gliders would fly, and then other planes, and the idea of the Gossamer Condor type airplane quickly emerged, was so logical, one should have thought of it in the first place, but one didn't. And it was just, keep the weight down 70 pounds was all it weighed but let the size swell up, like a hang glider, but three times the span, three times the cord.

Harness, parachute.

The birds flew to the south.

Without wings

Through the sky

I fleetly flee, I fly

Then I'll give you my parachute, and it'll float you down like a great, big umbrella.

Now, of course, we were normally frightened because the animal has no gliding adaptations, so we thought, Oh that's okay. We'll put it in a vertical wind tunnel.

A white bird flying.

I feel like I could fly

Gadorsky.

Bail out!

Parachute.

The birds soar in the air.
