This animation presents wing-over manoeuvering with a paraglider. The animation is 100% based on modelling and simulation. Note, that controlling is done only by rolling of the pilot inducing asymmetric aerodynamics.

  • @bennybyexdy ABSOLUTELY !!! That's doesn't come any closer to a Wing over, a lot less if you talk Acro Comp FAI Reqs. Wing Overs.

  • how is this made??

  • nice job, physics plays a huge part in paragliding, but benny's right, the wing has to dive and turn for it to be a wingover...

    Sorry for not being too polite but...Do you know all the work behind that video?

    What if it´s or not a wingover?

  • Amazing! I´ve been always interested in physics simulation, and i wondered if someone did a paraglider real simulation. Do you use any engine or is your own code?

  • these ain't wingovers. this is just rolling from one wingtip to the over. if you do wingovers the canopy has to dive...

  • Cool video!
