  • Patent number: 4708078
    Abstract: A very light wing, configured like a spherical segment, is intended to be used in the traction and lift of various loads. The wing includes a leading edge and a trailing edge and an inflatable armature covered by a flexible envelope. The surfaces of the wing are configured in the shape of an aircraft wing profile and the edges of the wing curve in two planes. The leading and trailing edges of the wing are oriented to intersect near the tips of the wing, and each of the tips of the wing receives a control rope via an adjusting plate. The control rope is passed through a pulley mounted on a craft to be displaced by a person through a harness. The wing can be used in sliding sports, yachting and gliding.
