N-M 176. Gliding at extreme speed! Zero drop limit bird drop!
176. Gliding at extreme speed! Zero drop limit bird drop!
The howling wind was in my ears.
The navy blue plateau has a panoramic view.
Snow mountains in the distance.
Quiet if zi.
Reflected in the clear lake water.
Facing the blizzard alone.
No matter how merciless slaps.
Still standing still.
Lots of snowflakes.
Floating recklessly on the pale blue lake.
It only stopped for a moment, and then quickly melted.
As if never came.
Not a single ripple was raised!
On the dry grass by the lake.
Cow and sheep in groups.
Eating grass leisurely.
Enjoying the desolation and tranquility unique to the plateau.
But right now.
A paraglider with a huge Red Bull LOGO suddenly broke the tranquility and flew into the live broadcast.
"call--!"
see this scene.
The cattle "Seven Seven Three" sheep in the distance were immediately frightened, and they fled in all directions on the vast grassland.
It seems to be against this behemoth that fell from the sky.
full of apprehension.
now.
After a period of flight.
location in the plan.
Finally came into view.
It was a very flat meadow.
Within a radius of 500 meters.
There are no obstacles.
Absolutely a perfect landing spot!
At this time, the straight-line distance between the landing point and Chu Chen's feet.
Probably between 60-70 meters.
see.
Chu Chen hurriedly picked up his spirits and began to prepare for the next landing, pulling the control straps on both sides for the first time!
Little by little, move back slowly!
Constantly adjust the center of gravity of the umbrella surface!
Until it all falls behind!
now.
The angle of the umbrella surface and his seat cushion is about 60 degrees.
For the Locarlo umbrella.
This angle is basically the best landing angle.
Neither high nor low.
Too high is easy to stall.
It is easy to deviate if it is too low.
And the facts prove it.
indeed so.
The moment Chu Chen adjusted the center of gravity of the canopy, the gliding speed really slowed down.
Paragliders are the same as hang gliders.
These two kinds of flying equipment control the flight altitude and flight direction by moving the pilot's center of gravity on the wing body and the umbrella surface.
Either forward or down.
Just drive the end of the sling to move forward, backward, left and right, and you can easily change the center of gravity of the entire umbrella!
Thus.
The umbrella surface will pitch forward and backward or tilt left and right according to the pilot's idea!
soon.
After getting ready to land, Chu Chen's hands left the control belt one after another, and grabbed the outermost parachute rope of group A respectively!
Then pull down hard!
next second!
There was an abnormal noise from the umbrella behind him.
Immediately after.
The effective airfoil area of the umbrella surface suddenly began to shrink!
And in this very moment.
The sinking rate of the entire umbrella surface.
It also increased to the maximum without any suspense!
The sink rate is an important indicator of gliding landing.
The greater the sinking rate.
The friendlier to landing.
However, it should be noted that after this operation, the brake line cannot be used, and all rotations must be completed entirely by the movement of the center of gravity!
at the same time.
This maneuver may also cause the paraglider to stall.
Only by single whip operation, release the accelerator operation, in order to avoid the risk of stalling!
A paraglider stall is no joke.
Once stalled.
The risk of landing increases exponentially!
The lightest consequence is the face brake.
The heaviest ones are basically packed in boxes.
Therefore, after realizing this problem, Chu Chen decisively deactivated the accelerator!
Then.
The first time to let go of the outermost umbrella rope of group A!
Instead, grab the paracord of Group B.
At the same time, pull it hard to the chest to deform the umbrella surface!
next second.
After the umbrella surface is deformed.
The speed suddenly slowed down!
The sinking rate quickly reached 7m/s!
If it is a normal parachute.
This sinking rate is already in a state of stall.
But for paragliders, this stall state is not the same as a full stall FullStall!
Stalls like this can be controlled!
The operation is also very simple!
When this operation is over, fully open the pulled group B!
soon!
Take the lake as a reference.
When the sinking rate reached 7m/s, Chu Chen decisively let go of the paracord of group B, turned his head and pulled the joystick again to control the direction!
Paraglider at this time.
Not immediately gliding and slowing down!
Instead, increase the speed for a while, and then gradually slow down!
6m/s!
5m/s!
4m/s!
Unlike the kind of impact landing of an airplane parachuting...
The paraglider landing is noticeably much gentler.
Just keep it under control.
The experience will be very good.
but.
After all, this is a plateau. Affected by various factors, it is not easy to land safely.
After realizing that the sinking rate entered a reasonable and safe range, Chu Chen confirmed the position of the landing point, and adjusted the direction of the umbrella surface as far as possible through the joystick to face the wind direction to reduce the speed!
now.
Dry grass where it falls.
It's getting closer!
But according to Chu Chen's experience, this height is not enough!
At this point, pull the brake cable.
There is also the risk of stalling.
Because of all kinds of unexpected factors, the best height for pulling the brakes is under 7 meters!
Only in this way can a bird descending near zero speed and zero drop be achieved!
The so-called bird landing is like a bird, landing lightly and standing firm, not a shock landing!
Bird landing is difficult.
Especially in a place like this.
Whether it can be done or not, Chu Chen is not completely sure!
Just try to operate.
next second!
As the distance of the drop point continues to approach.
The height of the umbrella surface has finally reached a reasonable landing range!
see this scene.
Without saying a word, Chu Chen used all his strength to yank the brake line!
0.9" Phew! 99
Tightening of the brake lines.
Let the umbrella behind you burst out with terrifying whistling noises!
And right now!
His feet were only one step away from the ground!
see.
Chu Chen hurriedly adjusted his posture and put away his feet!
Raise your center of gravity as high as possible!
It looks like a golden eagle aiming at its prey, with a pair of eyes, staring at the predetermined landing point, unwilling to relax at all!
Next up!
Three meters!
two meters!
-*!
next second!
Before the audience could react, Chu Chen's feet had quietly landed on the grass!
