Design of paraglider landing simulator
Wertheimer, Pavel ; Ripel, Tomáš (referee) ; Krejsa, Jiří (advisor)
Practice of landing with paraglider is very inefficient since every flight requires lengthy preparation. Therefore paragliding schools look for a more efficient alternative how to train new pilots. A paraglider flying simulator, which is the subject of this Master`s Thesis, could be that alternative. The design of the simulator includes three parts: a mechanical part - a frame to hang a pilot, that is the same as in real paraglider; an electronic part - scanning of pilot`s control actions and control of force in breaks of a paraglider; and a software part - a design of firmware for a microcontroller. Within the Master`s thesis a function prototype has been made.

The effect of paraglider`s wear and tear of different performance levels on the flight quality
Bartoš, Libor ; Dvorský, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Fiala, Miloš (referee)
Title: The effect of paraglider's wear and tear of different performance levels on the flight quality Aims: The main aim of this thesis is to define all main aspects participating in paraglider's wear and tear and changes of flight quality connected with it. Confirmation or non-confirmation of our assumption that paragliders of lower performance levels are wearing and tearing faster than paragliders of higher performance levels, especially because of poor handling by inexperienced pilots is also an important aim of this thesis. Methods: A porosimeter JDC MK1 was used as the main diagnostic tool. We have measured a porosity of skytex, material from which the paragliders are sewn. The total number of paragliders has been 253. Results were presented by using Excel spreadsheet and analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Paraglider's unequal wear and tear of different performance levels was found. There has been a downward trend in wear and tear on the age of gliders from the category EN B to EN D. Performance category EN A has not been wear and tear on the level that we have expected. Keywords: paragliding, paraglider, skytex, flight quality, porosity

Methodic of forward launch in paragliding
Kuběnka, Daniel ; Dvorský, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Fiala, Miloš (referee)
Title: Methodic of forward launch in paragliding Objectives: The goal of this work is creating of the ideal methodic of practice of forward launch in paragliding based on literature, observation and measuring. Methods: Observation, measuring, analysis and synthesis are the methods which were used in this work. Results: There were defined the key moments and their variables which affect forward launch in paragliding. The ideal methodic of practise of forward launch in paragliding was created based on these findings. Keywords: Paragliding, forward launch, methodic, variables of performance, paraglide
