What is a resonable amount of Sq. meterage necessary to keep a hang glider aloft for a good amount of time?

Question:
I plan to build a new type of glider and I need to know how many meters of fabric I need to get a large distance to height ratio.

Answers:

boeing 747 take off distance?

The issue is not the wing area of the glider. The wing area is generally dictated by the total weight of the pilot, including harness, helmet, water, radios, etc.

Why is the nose of a subsonic aircraft shaped like a paraboloid?

The L/D (lift/drag ratio) or sink rate is determined more by the design of the wing as a result of things such as the airfoil and aspect ratio. A 166sqft wing could have the same L/D as a 145sqft glider. Typical glider ratios for modern flex wing hang gliders range from 10:1 up over 16:1. (Rigid wing hang gliders exceed 20:1.)

How many flights land in the uk every day?

Remember, in straight and level flight, a glider is always falling. Hang gliders typically have a sink rate of about 200fpm, DOWN. So if you want to stay up you’ve got to find air that is going up at MORE than 200fpm.

What is the compensation in case of flight cancellation, flight rescheduled 24 hour later.?

WARNING! Hang gliding is not inherently dangerous. However, like most aviation activities, it is very unforgiving. One simply can not make many mistakes and get away with it. It is not something you want to try to teach to yourself.

hey guys i just boght microsoft flight simulator and i need help?

depends on weight, aerodynamics and most importantly, updraft amount.

i fall asleep while flying 747" s right before i land how do i stay awake?

low updraft requires light weight, heavy updraft can hold more weight.

At what altitude does a boeing fly in the middle of the flight and why ?

I would research current ones and base answers on that specially if you are not an engineer and have put countless numbers and formulas into this all.

I'm going to flight school soon. Is a drug test required for my private pilot's license? (3rd class medical)

And if not an engineer.....buy the best helmet and body gear you can...just a warning.
