What would happen to the hand glider if the air was flowing in the opposite direction?
Gliders rely on the air traveling over the wing span to be at a certain speed. To achieve this the Glider must travel forward. If the air, in the form of wind, is traveling in the same direction, the Glider must travel at the speed of the wind plus the normal speed of operation in order to avoid stalling. If the Glider was traveling at the speed of the wind or slower, it would fall out of the sky towards the ground. During this time the Glider would increase in speed potentially regaining control. If the air, in the form of wind, is traveling in the opposite direction, the Gliders stall point will be lower because the air flowing over the wing span will reach a certain speed much sooner.
