Ok I see what you mean, but that’s still a mono surface in a slight delta shape. Nothing close to most modern paragliders other than the fact that the pilot is sitting underneath attached by lines. There are mono surface paragliders but the shape is completely different. Closer to some of the recent steerable reserve chutes though!

You’re thinking of hang gliders / delta wings. Paragliders are a whole different thing (entirely made of tissue with lines, folds into a backpack, often mistaken for a modern parachute). Source: have flown both but am paragliding pilot.

So what does « unpublished » mean in the context of the article? I’m confused…

UVW-1800 utility-grade BetaSP machine. Worked great when hooked up to an edit bay but a bit cumbersome to operate on its own.
