HYBRID HANGGLIDERS AT THE WORLDS GREATEST

[@planeair100]

Supine hang gliding or what old pilots would call seated flying still exists.

Yes and I'm a fan from way back, but NOBODY making gear to fly this way I've seen, other than experimenters. The last one I followed (PNW USA) quit. Head forward prone IS hang gliding. But not to worry, hang gliding itself is unfortunately dying.

Can someone make a glider with a seat, to sit on top, so it’s like riding a giant bird. And put an electric motor on it. Like in the movies

[@marlinfitzwater7898]

Some folks want to be a giant bird, and some folks want to ride on one. It’s good to know which one you are.

@@marlinfitzwater7898 jokes aside, I always thought why not make a giant bird glider, like a bald eagle , and put a seat on it, then ride it like in the movies

You mean like Avatar? Or more like How to Train your Dragon? Or Heavy Metal if you’re as old as I am.
