Parapente

A lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure, wherein the pilot sits in a harness suspended below a hollow fabric wing whose shape is formed by its suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.

Examples :

"From the hilltop, we watched a paraglider soar through the sky, the colorful fabric wing catching the wind. "
Desde la cima de la colina, vimos un parapente surcar el cielo, con su ala de tela colorida atrapando el viento.
