Paraglider has been used for a good air sports instrument by many people in the world though its short history. And manufacturers have improved it continuously. It has the great growth from the first model like parachute to the latest model that has the extreme speed, but we can improve it in more parts. In this paper, we will show the method which can improve its performance by using Axiomatic Approach.

In the present study, we investigate the flow separation characteristics of a paraglider canopy model by tuft visualization. The experiment is conducted at Re = 3.3×105 in a wind tunnel large enough to contain the three-dimensional paraglider canopy model, where Re is Reynolds number based on the mean chord length and the free-stream velocity. The flow separation characteristics of the canopy model near the wing root are similar to those of a two-dimensional airfoil with a cross-section similar to the model. On the other hand, near the wingtip region, the flow separation is suppressed by the downwash induced by the wingtip vortex. As a result, as the angle of attack increases, the flow separation occurs from the wing root region of the canopy model and develops toward the wingtip.

In the present study, we investigate the flow characteristics of a paraglider canopy with leading-edge tubercles by performing force measurement and surface flow visualizations. The experiment is conducted at Re = 3.3×10⁵ in a wind tunnel, where Re is the Reynolds number based on the mean chord length and the free-stream velocity. The canopy model with leading-edge tubercles has flow characteristics of a two-step stall, showing an earlier onset of the first stall than the canopy model without leading-edge tubercles. However, the main stall angle of the tubercled model is much larger than that of the canopy model without tubercles, resulting in a higher aerodynamic performance at high angles of attack. The delay in the main stall is ascribed to the suppression of separation bubble collapse around the wingtip at high angles of attack.

In this study, we surveyed the operating status of the Parachute, Paraglider and Hang Glider in Korea, and compared the Airworthiness Standards of Ultralight Vehicle. We analyzed the procedures of certifications and specifications for Parachute, Paraglider and Hang Glider. We were presented with respected the two kinds of certification methods applied. One of them is a Compliance Certification applied to the manufacture, and one for a Airworthiness Certification to be applied to the operator.

돛 요트, 패러글라이더, 또는 고공 풍력 등의 설계에 있어, 3차원 모델에 가해지는 측풍공기력을 해석하는 일은 다양한 기계의 성능을 예측하기 위해 매우 중요하다. 3차원 형상 주위의 본질적인 유동 물리를 이해하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 간략화된 강체 모델들이 제안되었다. 자유류 속도, 받음각, 종횡비, 그리고 캠버가 독립변수로서 고려되었다. 양력과 항력 계수들은 ANSYS-CFX를 이용한 전산유체역학 해석을 통하여 계산되었고, 유동장의 후처리된 가시화 결과는 유체역학의 관점에서 해석되었다.
