About Byron Bay
Paragliding, Hang Gliding in Byron Bay Australia Byron Bay is a former whaling station that is now a very popular holiday resort renowned for its magnificent surfing beaches. The lush and beautiful countryside surrounding the town was opened up by cedar-cutters in the late 1800s and is now devoted to dairying, cattle, pigs and tropical fruits. Paragliding, Hang Gliding in Byron Bay Australia The town is partly protected from the sea by Cape Byron, a rocky promontory 107m high and the continent's most easterly point. One of the most attractive and powerful lighthouses in Australia stands on the cape, beaming its light more than 40km out to sea. A walking trail leads to the tip of the cape, on the way visiting the lighthouse and providing fine coastal views. A ramp on the southern side of the cape is used by hang gliders who often soar overhead. Good views of humpback whales on their migration up the coast to Hervey Bay can be seen from the cape in July and on their return in September. Paragliding, Hang Gliding in Byron Bay Australia

How Hang Gliding Works
by Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D. Table of Contents Introduction to How Hang Gliding Works How a Hang Glider Flies Hang-gliding Equipment A Basic Flight Lots More Information Shop or Compare Prices Imagine soaring like a hawk thousands of feet above the ground. Although the air is somewhat chilly, the view is tremendous and the solitude is relaxing. You search for updrafts of air to keep you aloft so that you can enjoy this feeling for hours. This is the experience of hang gliding. Photo courtesy Ramy Yanetz Hang glider Ramy Yanetz over Rio de Janiero The hang glider's wing, called a delta wing or Rogallo wing , is an outgrowth of NASA engineer Francis Rogallo's research on kites and parachutes in the 1960s. Rogallo had proposed the wing as a method of returning spacecraft to Earth. The delta-wing parachute was lightweight, durable and highly maneuverable. Later, John Dickenson, Bill Moyes, Bill Bennett and Richard Miller developed the Rogallo wing into the modern hang glider and launched an immensely popular sport shared by millions of people worldwide.

Wasp Flight Systems is a Lake District (UK) based company which has been designing, manufacturing and supporting the growth of foot launched powered hang gliding since 1998. We have a wealth of hang gliding experience dating back to the late seventies and understand the needs of the pilots we serve. Our underpinning philosophy is one of quality, reliability, complete after sales support and continued product development. It is as a result of constantly striving to achieve the best that we now offer the Wasp -SP (mk2) powered harness.
WASP- SP MK2 Powered Hang Gliding Harness The latest Wasp-SP, known as the MK2, is the result of 12 months of design development. Every area of the harness, engineering and control systems has been steadily refined to produce a powered harness which is simplicity to use, quite simply the most comfortable prone unit available and marks a radical departure from existing power unit configurations. Even the smallest details have been looked at and redesigned to avoid wear and pressure points and enable the harness to have a long and trouble free life.
