Paragliders are strange flying objects, so strange indeed, that the usual laws of aerodynamics that normally apply in aviation, fail to explain everything that can happen to this wing. This flying object whose centre of gravity is located seven to eight metres lower than the wing and is also continuously moving back and forth, cannot be explained by the classic rules of aerodynamics alone.

Thanks to Bruce.
