Encyclopedia Article
Article Outline
A variation of soaring, hang gliding, has been popular since the 1970s. Hang gliders are constructions resembling kites, from which the flier is suspended by means of a harness and supported on a trapezelike frame. Maneuvering is done by shifting the body weight. International hang-gliding championships are also held.
