论文摘要
我们设计并建立了一个简化的模型实验，以研究给定牵引力的滑翔伞通胀和发射阶段。我们表明，单个皮肤滑翔机的发射轨迹是通用的，即独立于施加的力。结果，滑翔机达到其“准备发射”垂直位置所需的起飞跑步长度也是普遍的。我们成功地将结果与全尺度实验进行了比较，并表明可以通过简单的理论模型来理解这种普遍性。
We designed and built a reduced-scale model experiment to study the paragliding inflation and launching phase at given traction force. We show that the launch trajectory of a single skin glider is universal, that is, independent of the exerted force. As a consequence, the length of the take-off run required for the glider to reach its "ready to launch" vertical position is also universal. We successfully compare our results to full-scale experiments, and show that such universality can be understood through a simple theoretical model.
