NEWS RELEASE: 
NEWS RELEASE

The World Hang Gliding Association has awarded Gustave Whitehead, Tony Prentice, John Worth, Charles Richards, Barry Hill Palmer, Thomas H. Purcell, Jr., and James Hobson, Mike Burns, John Dickenson, Richard Miller, Bill Bennett, Bill Moyes, Dave Kilbourne, Richard Eipper, and Peter Brock, a combination Flex-Wing Hang Glider Gold Air Award for their showing simplicities in hang gliders using the four-boom flex-wing radiating out of standard kiting and gliding extant public-domain arts or the Rogallo-NASA-Ryan-Paresev environment using public-domain arts extant since the first decade of 1910. The Gustave Whitehead teachings that were inspired from the works of others like Otto Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher, Wenham, and others and the most simple hang glider in Breslau of 1908 that had the simple cable-stayed A-frame we use commonly today, combined with the works of these hang glider men of the Flex-Wing Hang Glider Gold Air Award, firms the impossibility of anyone fairly claiming global mechanical "invention" of the basic core hang glider that saturated the 1960s until even prior arts in flying wings saturated designs post 1974. The Gold Award by WHGA is open for the entrance of other men or women to the special award as data justifies; please send in flex-wing hang glider historical data to the FlexWingHangGliderGoldAirAward@WorldHangGlidingAssociation.org  for processing and possible adding people to the award. The public-domain art extant in 1961 was super simple to copy and make into one's own tinkered wing; the ancients could have had the flex-wing four-boom hang glider thousands of years ago for successful flight as did the men of the this WHGA Flex-Wing Hang Glider Gold Air Award. One can trace the mechanics of Hobson's or Eipper's four-boom flex-wing hang glider right into the first decade of 1900s. The minor tweaks of ornamental appearance for tweaked site and use missions remain part of the story of the flex-wing hang glider. 

Unfortunately one person who came late in the game has been being pushed into an untenable claim at mechanical global invention of that which belonged to the public already; that person is listed in the award despite the infamous untenable claim that was unfortunately rubber stamped by some orgs who exercised a low-bar scrutiny over their award text to the injury of others and to hang gliding history. It can be traced how one person bullied the untenable claim along with other untenable claims. Differently, the WHGA has this Flex-Wing Hang Glider Gold Air Award that will be open to historical findings about the flex-wing hang glider, perhaps battened. Enjoy the history of each awardee's personal story and adventure. See the emptiness of the hoax, but see the joy of making and flying. The FAI, GH, and JD should know that they will probably be forgiven by the hang gliding community for the rash unsound flattening of the otherwise rich history of the public-domain flex-wing hang glider arts, when they recant and rewrite their untenable texts for some fresh version with open and fair apologies. The great sport of hang gliding has a big joyous heart and it seems to recognize how huge is the excitement that many have about hang gliding; when someone get so excited that wish to claim what belongs to another, then such matter will be brought to light by those who care about the face of hang gliding; there is no need to flatten a giant great scene into a one-point untenable. 

Let us know if the WHGA is to add other names to the flex-wing flow fit for the

Group: kitepatents Message: 1180 From: Joe Faust Date: 5/27/2013
Subject: Re: Effinger and Struck moot standard Rogallo "invention"
"John Worth, newly elected president of the Academy of Model Aeronautics"
from
May-June 1963 American Modeler

Effinger speaking in the article:

""TOWLINE GLIDER: Takes off without assistance. Tows much easier than high aspect ratio gliders. Sinking speed depends on loading, which can be kept extremely light.""

"""Tech Talk" by Bill Effinger 

Some may call it "Para-wing," or "Para-glider," but it all adds up to a brand new type of flying that is the biggest new idea in model aviation since Jim Walker introduced "U-Control." 

For me it started two years ago when A. C. Gilbert's new products planners wanted a glider kite with some form of power for maneuverability. 

Here was a challenge that could not be met with orthodox design. Henry Struck and I kicked around ideas for several weekends. Being old balsa butchers, we knew that there were several approaches that offered possibilities, but the weight of ready-to-fly plastic models was the big drawback. 

The NASA flexible wing experiments using a flex-wing in combination with a "Custom Cavalier" made us consider this possibility. (The original "Cavalier" was designed by Ben Shereshaw in 1935; I redesigned it as the "Custom Cavalier" in 1941.) NASA Technical Note D-629 by Rodger Maeseth was the beginning of a long period of "trial and error" test and research, culminating in Gilbert's new ready-to-fly "Wing Thing" which should interest everybody as the starting point in flex-wing flying. Model builders will find new and interesting variations of flex-wing flying, all the way from indoor competition through radio control. 
 
What have we been able to do with just one airplane? Here is a list of repeatedly conducted successful flights without structural damage of any kind: 
 
TOWLINE GLIDER: Takes off without assistance. Tows much easier than high aspect ratio gliders. Sinking speed depends on loading, which can be kept extremely light. 
 
KIT: Has been flown for hours by a 5-year-old. Somebody wisecracked, "The best place to store Wing Thing is in the air, nobody can step on it then." About 15-mph steady wind is needed for good kite operations. It is the only kite that glides when the wind dies down. 
 
FREE FLIGHT: Hand-launched or Rise-Off Ground. Four have been lost to date. Two of them straight up in thermals. 
 
TETHER: Yes, the fellow who wants to operate on the end of a string in his back yard can fly Wing Thing on a 15 to 25' tether line. 
 
SLOPE SOARING: If you are lucky enough to live on a hill, you can use it as a hand launched glider, too! 
 
CAPTIVE FLIGHT: Truly the most sensational new concept in model flying. Catapulted take-off, towing up to 350 feet on light kite string, steered in flight at the end of the line, then finally allowed to return to the ground as a guided glider. Not until you have a line on the model do you realize how high up 350 feet really is. 
 
When the project got under way, NASA Reports were used as design criteria and the parameters set up proved out in model size. Investigation of past experiments show that the idea started with the George Wanner Patent No. 2,537,560. Although Mr. Rogallo is given credit for the flexwing by NASA, the Rogallo Patent No. 2,546,078 differs considerably from the flexwing that is now being test flown full-scale. I sure would like to see George Wanner, whose Baby ROG's started so many of us in model building in the late 1920's, be given some credit for the basic idea. The flex-wing is now frequently referred to as the "Rogallo Wing" and the name will probably stick. (The basic Wanner patent is now the property of the A. C. Gilbert Co.) 

At the very beginning of the test flying, Struck experienced difficulty with recovery from stalls. The flexwing as originally designed was intended for use as a kite and had no means for recovery from a dive once the wings became deflated. In other words, once zero lift occurred, lift would remain at zero until it made a neat hole in the ground. The FAA had found out about this and put out warnings as far as full scale planes are concerned. Experimenters who didn't flight test with models first could learn the hard way with their lives!

Notes: 
  • It seems that Wilbur Green is aware of some of Wanner's work, not all.  The Wanner that is referenced has the crossbar on top of the sail as the Eddy kite.    Scholarship caution: Wilbur Green does not seem to be facing Wanner's https://www.google.com/patents/US2537560 Filing date: Jan 29, 1948.   Issue date: Jan 9, 1951 that does not have a crossbar or spreader beam; rather the nose connector takes up needed spreading function; Wanner does not seem to know about the fully limp Rogallo Wing living in the mechanics of his construction. We are discussing that patent at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitepatents/message/72    Wanner centrally bridles and relies on the nose connector to firm spreading; there is no beneath or above spreader beam, but the neutrally-leveled  nose connector doing the left-right sail spreading-and spread keeping; bridling as he does, if the nose connector was a universal joint, then the leading edge beams would simply flag back; there is no sense in the patent description of any awareness of what Rogallo had discovered and was close-in-time patenting with http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitepatents/message/162   2546078    Filing date: Nov 23, 1948.      Rogallo found Nature's Permission to bridle a stickless fully limp wing; and then upon that discovery allowing stiffening back; a new era of understanding wing seems to have begun with this discovery.  Wanner did not have it. Green did not have it. Eddy did not have it. All others missed seeing the underlying support of a possible fully-limp wing. Having the new understanding has the potential of seeing most any wing, however sticked or stiffened, in a new way; there is the Rogallo Wing present to give some support to the aerodynamics of wing. The mechanics of the Rogallo Wing were staring aviation in the face with the dynamics of limp parachutes if only focus would have been on the possibility of isolating say just one section of the limp parachute and bridling that section for a stable standalone wing for kiting and gliding; Rogallo describe the matter and opened the door for even more focus on such ram-air of limp canopy (hence Jalbert and Barish developments). Designers with the new view and success of the Rogallo Wing in limp form and the patent's permit to stiffen back by various means known to those skilled in the arts, one may then climb back into wings and have sticked wings and even solid rigid wings with a new view. We then can look back and over any sticked kite wing and have a new aspect giving additional understanding to the mechanics of the wings. Fully solid wings still have deep in them the Rogallo Wing in fully limp format playing a role. Some engineers in NASA saw this continuum, some did not.   A raw sticked biconical may be seen with or without the enlightened Rogallo Wing seeing; those who saw the Rogallo Wing in the fully limp permission could have sticked and boomed wings with a heightened aerodynamics.

Control the wings of the kite system to lift strong and then not lift strongly; during such cycles the hydro turbines will rise and fall in the water whilst generating electricity.  Instead of the Yo-Yo tether-drum handling, this teaching aims to delete that tether-handling challenge in offshore realms.  ~JpF
