Abstract
Hypotheses adopted for conventional ram-air gliding parachutes are not valid for paraglider aerodynamics and they require a new investigation. This paper presents an experimental database for a reference wing representative of a paraglider wing. Interest is focused on the external flow and on the influence of the spanwise arched shape on stationary longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics.To isolate this effect, leading edge intake and swell of real textile inflated cells are not represented. Thus,the reference wing is rigid and filled.
