Hang Gliding FAQ(悬挂滑翔翼最常见问题和回答)
How do you get in the air? (如何爬升到空中)
A hang glider can be foot launched from a hill or cliff, or towed behind an ultralight airplane, truck or boat. They can also be winch launched.
How high can you go? (能飞多高?)
Most flights remain below 1350 - 1800 meters (4000 - 6,000 feet). In the USA the legal, regulatory limitation is 17,999 ft above mean sea level (MSL). Above about 3,000 - 4000 meters (9,800 - 13,000 feet) you will need oxygen.
How long can you stay up? (能在空中飞行多长时间?)
An intermediate pilot can soar for several hours. Hang Gliders remain aloft by using ridge lift (rising air deflected by a mountain) or thermals (rising air created by the sun warming the earth). An advanced pilot may choose to fly cross-country (XC) and fly many miles to "land out."
Cross-country (XC) records are often hundreds of miles, and the world record for soaring is over 24 hours!本回答被网友采纳
