Abstract
It is hard to imagine that a hundred years have passed since the first powered flight by the Wright brothers. It appears that even after a hundred years, the passion for flight and the curiosity associated with flight continue as though this remarkable first flight by the Wright brothers happened just yesterday. It shows how much human beings long to fly like the birds. Anyone who has flown in a modern jet aircraft will agree that the flight is not exactly thrilling. As a passenger you will only get a view of the world outside through a narrow window. Of course, it is the safest way to travel. But it is not exactly flying like the birds. In this article, we do not pursue this boring way of flying by a modern jet-liner. Rather, we will follow a different story. This story is about hang gliding. More precisely, it is about powered hang gliding. The only true way of flying!
