Topic for open discussion:
   Hang Glider Kite Mountain  (HGKM)
  • Have a hang glider launch incline be lifted aloft by kite system. Then hang glider pilots could use the lofted incline for foot-launching their hang glider. Once off the incline and into free-gliding flight, the hang glider pilot integrated with the hang glider wing form a FFAWE flight system with the tethered pilot as one wing and the hang glider wing as the tethered and coupled other wing.
  • The pilot using a HGKM would not be driving a van or car up a real dirt/rock mountain. That same truck/van would not be driving down a real dirt/rock mountain.
  • The HGKM could be in territories where real mountain do not exist.
  • The HGKM could be anchored on land or sea.
  • The HGKM could have some auxiliary kitricity generators integrated for supplying power for communications.
