    LIQUID FORCE KITE CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN A Senior Project submitted to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering by Brendan Kerr, Alden Simmer, Brodie Sutherland March 2017 ABSTRACT Liquid Force Kite Control System Design Brendan Kerr, Alden Simmer, Brodie Sutherland Kiteboarding is an ocean sport wherein the participant, also known as a kiter, uses a large inflatable bow shaped kite to plane across the ocean on a surfboard or wakeboard. The rider is connected to his or her kite via a control bar system. This control system allows the kiter to steer the kite and add or remove power from the kite, in order to change direction and increase or decrease speed. This senior project focused on creating a new control bar system to replace a control bar system manufactured by a kiteboarding company, Liquid Force. The current Liquid Force control bar has two main faults, extraneous components and a lack of ergonomic design. Our team aimed to eliminate unneeded components and create a more ergonomic bar. By eliminating components, the bar would also be more cost effective to produce by using less material and requiring less time to manufacture. We first conducted a literature review into the areas of kiteboarding control systems and handle ergonomics. Based on studies done on optimal grip diameters for reducing forearm stress we concluded that the diameter for the bar grip should be at least a centimeter less than the maximum grip of the user.

  • Taking to the SKIES Canaan Valley Is No Stranger to Birds, but Now It’S Welcoming flyers of a Human Variety
    Taking to the SKIES Canaan Valley is no stranger to birds, but now it’s welcoming flyers of a human variety. WRITTEN BY JESS WALKER 22 WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA | JUNE 2019 For paragliding pilots, nothing compares to the thrill of sailing over hilltops and trees. irds make flight seem majestic. They swoop and soar over valleys with the wind in their feathers and sun on their backs. Yet, for humans, most of our experiences with flight are less grandiose. It’s difficult to conjure a sense of wonder crammed in the middle seat of a giant metal Btube, unsuccessfully trying to drown out the engine’s thrum with an in-flight movie. But some daredevils in the Canaan Valley have found an alternative way to take to the skies— one that doesn’t require an engine, checked baggage, or even a ticket. And it’s significantly more majestic than flying coach. Gliding in Canaan Valley Picture a parachute. Now, stretch that mental image until the circular chute becomes a long cigar shape. That’s a paragliding wing. A pilot, suspended in a harness, maneuvers the wing by tugging on lines and shifting her body weight. If the conditions are right, she can stay afloat for hours at a time. Paragliding as a recreational activity didn’t gain momentum until the 1970s and ’80s. Credit is commonly given to mountain climbers who wanted an easier way to descend from climbs. The sport is not to be confused with hang gliding, which employs a v-shaped wing with a rigid metal frame, the equipment typically weighing more than 45 pounds.

  • Ergonomics of Paragliding Reserve Deployment
    Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2020. Eds. Rebecca Charles and Dave Golightly. CIEHF. Ergonomics of paragliding reserve deployment Matt Wilkes1, Geoff Long1, Heather Massey1, Clare Eglin1, Mike Tipton1 and Rebecca Charles2 1Extreme Environments Laboratory, University of Portsmouth, 2 Rail Safety and Standards Board ABSTRACT Paragliding is an emerging discipline of aviation, which is considered relatively high risk. Reserve parachutes are rarely used, but typical deployments are at low altitude, with pilots under the extreme stress of a life-threatening situation. To date, paraglider equipment design has focused primarily on weight and aerodynamics, so reserve parachute deployment systems have evolved haphazardly. Our study aimed to characterise deployment behaviours in amateur pilots. Fifty-five paraglider pilots were filmed deploying their reserve parachutes from a zipline. Test conditions were designed for ecologically valid body, hand and gaze positions; cognitive loading and switching; and physical disorientation akin to a real deployment. The footage was reviewed by two groups of subject matter experts. It was noted that pilots searched for the reserve handle using the hip as an anatomical landmark and tried to extract the deployment bag upwards, irrespective of optimum direction. Recommendations, which are being incorporated into the latest draft of the European Norm for harness design included: positioning reserve handles at the pilot’s hip; better system integration between different manufacturers; and containers being designed so deployment bags are extractable at any angle of pull. Deployment in a single, sweeping action should be encouraged in preference to the multiple actions sometimes taught. KEYWORDS Equipment failure, personal protective equipment, accidents, aviation Introduction Paragliding is a widely practiced form of unpowered flight (Paragliding Manufacturers’ Association 2014).

  • Beginners Guide to Kite Boarding
    The Complete Beginner’s Guide About Kitesurfing What Is Kitesurfing? For some, it does not even ring a bell although, for others, it means everything and they build their life around it! Whether you have already witnessed it in person on your last vacation to the beach, maybe over the internet in your news feed or even in pop culture, for sure it made you wonder… What the heck are these guys doing dangling in the air under that big parachute? And how are they even doing it? If we were to talk to someone in the early 1960s about space exploration, let alone landing on the moon they would have thought we were crazy. What if we were to tell someone today that they can have the time of their life by practicing a water sport that involves standing up on a surfboard, strapped in a waist harness while being pulled along by a large kite up 25 meters in the air? That person probably wouldn’t believe it. Well, here we are today with hundreds of thousands of people learning and practicing kiteboarding every year. In this Complete Beginner’s Guide, we will go from the inception of the sport to where it is today and everything in between to understand what kitesurfing is all about. This guide will inform you about the history and origins of kitesurfing, the equipment, the environment, what it takes to become a kiter as well as the benefits of becoming one. Moreover, we will cover everything there is to know about the safety aspects of this action sport and the overall lifestyle and culture that has grown around it.

  • Water and Snow Kite Risk Management and Key Skills! Conditions and Sites! • I first Learned Water Kiting in the Columbia Gorge
    © Bill Glude 20140610! !Alaska Windjammer Kites, www.akavalanches.com/! Water and Snow Kite Risk Management and Key Skills! ! Conditions and Sites! • I first learned water kiting in the Columbia Gorge. My instructor taught me a couple key principles to begin with:! 1. This is not windsurfing or sailing. This is aviation. You are attaching yourself to a flying machine.! 2. Accordingly, treat it like you would an airplane. Go through your preflight checklists. Do not fly in conditions you would not fly a Super Cub or an ultralight aircraft in! Strong turbulence, updrafts, squall lines, thunderstorms, hurricanes, offshore winds, dangerous ground conditions, or high gust-to-lull ratios are NOT conditions to kite in; go do something else on those days!! • People can get killed or seriously injured if they are careless with kites. The “kite- mare” videos on You Tube are people who have violated the risk management rules. Kite intelligently; take all the precautions you can. There is enough risk from mistakes even the most careful riders will inevitably make. Don’t end up on You Tube!! • Like aviation, the risk if you try to teach yourself or have your buddy teach you is high, but if you learn from a good teacher and follow the proper procedures, the risk is in the same range as any other active sport like skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking.! • You want 100 meters, a football field’s length, of downwind space that is clear of anything that might hurt you, or anything you might hurt, especially when launching, landing, or practicing maneuvers.! • You will get dragged and possibly lifted into the air inadvertently sometimes, especially with full-length lines.

  • United States Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association 1 FAA Resources Page for Instructors the U.S. Hang Gliding and Paraglid
    United States Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association FAA Resources Page for Instructors The U.S. Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA) is required by the FAA to ensure that flight training provides sufficient understanding of information provided in the FAA Pilot's Handbook and the Powered Parachute Handbook, and that all hang glider and paraglider student pilots have access to both handbooks. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains these instructional materials as free online resources to provide essential information for all pilots. Content from both manuals is already integrated into USHPA's pilot training program as applicable. The USHPA has compiled a list of some of the most relevant materials from both handbooks and summarized it, along with the corresponding chapter numbers, below. An overview of FAR part 103 is also included. (See here for a webpage with this information for student pilots.) Please feel free to reference this list and recommend the handbooks or specific chapters to students that might benefit from further study. FAA Manual Topics Preflight and Other Flight Preparations Chapter 5, Powered Parachute Handbook Before launching, it’s important to complete a preflight to ensure that everything is flight- ready. A key part of the preflight is confirming that everything is assembled correctly and is in good condition on the hang glider or paraglider. Students (and their instructor if flying tandem) should also make sure that they are mentally and physically prepared for the flight, the weather conditions are appropriate, and no external pressures should disrupt the flight. (PPH 5-1) Finally, before launching, the pilot(s) must ensure that they are securely attached to the glider.

  • A Few Simple Kite Plans
    A Few Simple Kite Plans (Part of the “From Kites to Space” Unit) Compiled by Rebecca Kinley Fraker From Kites to Space KITE PLANS Foreword: If you were a member of any of my classes, as soon as I mentioned “kites” you would begin to giggle. Because my students claim that when Mrs. Fraker says the word “kite” all the wind in the state dies down, and everything becomes very still. Sometimes they suggest that I should go into the path of an approaching hurricane, announce a kite-building class, and stop those hurricane winds. Nevertheless, I have continued my love of kites. Faced with no wind, I have collected and modified different kite plans until many of my kites will fly in practically no breeze at all. Faced with little money, I found plans that use copier paper, bamboo skewers, and plastic bags. Faced with rainy weather and no open areas, I experimented until I found the paper bag kite which will fly in the classroom or hall with a minimum of arm movement. Please note: There are far more beautiful kites to make and many other categories of kites. I hope this unit will inspire you to do further research into sport and fighter kites. There are also new sports involving kites such as kite boarding, skiing with kites, and parasailing. I can say with confidence, BUILD THESE KITES AND THEY WILL FLY !!! Rebecca K.
