Jeremy Paxson has begun construction of the BHL7 10 m2 prototype in Germany.

Marcello Gabrielli, Cagliari, Sardinia (Italy) has begun construction of a new GNUA13

There are two other projects (new designs) underway. This spring is starting to get interesting!

LEparagliding 3.18 "Vinebre"


Ghost 11, by Hugo Chauvin.

Groenland, Febreuary 6, 2022. Julien Caquineau test the Barretina Hyper Lite 4 prototype "Suluk2" taking advantage of a "good weather" window at -30ºC. With the new set of lines the behavior is much better. Inserted 50% and 75% tape marks planned for an SIV test in Switzerland.

Stefan Feuz releases the LEPG-3.17. Stable versions for Win, Lin and Mac can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/stefanino-ch/lepg-py/tree/stable/distribution
We will soon be adding a small screenshot manual on how to use LEparagliding's graphical environment.

Airfoils 3D rotations in LEparagliding. Study of geometric transformations to rotate airfoils in three axes.
This improvement runs now in lep >= 3.16


GG Hang Glider Update 2021-08-08: "Last Monday I moved the project to the farm of the aforementioned friend and on Thursday afternoon I was able to advance a little, (see attached power point) slide the sail over the leading edges and also make the keel pocket. It begins to encourage me to continue to be able to see the shape of the Rogallo.
In two more weeks - if I can- I return to the farm to continue to cut and assemble all the 3/32" SS tensioning cables."
