Patents that affect gliding kites (paragliders) at any scale for any mission are invited to be discussed here with the main aim of advancing the arts of gliding kites (paragliders) for unmanned and manned paragliding activity in commerce, science, art, entertainment, sport, hobby, recreation, public service, land management, architecture, animal management. Gliding kiting occurs when power is off on powered versions of kites. The first powering realm is gravity over the resistive set masses (perhaps a human pilot or set of human passengers or goods as payload), but powering can be from active wings in the resistive set or from onboard propulsive motors and engines. Paragliders are kites, indeed the sort of kite set into gliding mode with the resistive set affected by gravity to give a net tension to the tether set of the paraglider. It can be spectacularly fun and informative to study the patents that affect paraglider.
