Hanggliding in the supine position
The supine position is quite unusual because schooling happens in prone position. The use of wheels at the speedbar is compulsory in schooling for they avoid injury if a standing landing misses.
For competition pilots the somewhat minor air resistance of the prone position and the better controlling possibilities around the diagonal axis are of importance. It can be flown faster and the hangglider can be stopped easier when landing.
Yet among pleasure pilots the comfortable sitting or supine position gains more and more friends. The speed range up to 60 km/h is fully sufficient for long-distance flying.
