1) GNU-PORTA-GLIDER

Project for design and built a portable and very light hang glider based on the cable leading edge concept. These project was inspired in 70's Whitney Porta  Wing hang glider and also some Bob Rouse designs .


Schematic of frame and sail

FORTRAN program for compute and design (.dxf file) the basic geometry of the glider. Runs well under g77 fortran compiler in GNU/Linux environment.
(See schematic design parametres below).
