Abstract: A bearing and control system to execute flaring and curved flight manoeuvres of a load-bearing paraglider (1) with a parachute (2) with trailing edges (9, 9a, 9b) to execute the manoeuvre, whereby control lines (10) connected to trailing edges are rolled onto an unrolling device (16, 172), with a load unit (3) and with an unrolling device (12a, 173) to unroll lift webs (174) wound on it to lower the load unit (3), whereby the trailing edges (9, 9a, 9b) are moved to execute a manoeuvre by the weight of the load unit (3), and a gear unit (171) and a brake (178, 179) are between the control lines (10) and the load unit (3).

Abstract: A flying object is precisely steered by determining the position of the fng object with the aid of a trigonometric calculation. For this purpose pulse signals emitted in synchronism from two ground stations are received by the flying object and the time difference between the two arrivals is measured. The flying object is also equipped with a clock which is synchronized with the clocks of the two ground stations. Thus, the emitting times are available in the flying object. Based on the measured time difference between the receipt of the two pulses and on the given emission time the coordinates of the actual position of the flying object are calculated. The calculated position coordinates are compared with position coordinates of a rated course stored in the airborne equipment whereby a course deviation signal is calculated. The course deviation signal is then applied to the steering mechanism of the flying object to bring the latter back onto the rated course.
