Abstract
A self-contained traction wing which is intended to be used in combination with a gliding device capable of interacting with the feet of a user, is controlled by the user via manual gripping mechanism placed on the wing, and has a structure having a sail defined by a leading edge formed by an inflatable tube, and a trailing edge, the structure being symmetrical in relation to a central batten. The half wings located on either side of the central batten, each comprise at least one additional transverse batten between the central batten and the end of the wing. The additional transverse batten is closer to the end of the wing than to the central batten and comprises an inflatable tube structure, having a length provided to create a positive trailing edge.

- a structure having a sail defined by a leading edge (BA) formed by an inflatable tube and a trailing edge (BF) said structure being symmetrical relative to a central batten;
- and
- half-wings located on either side of the central batten, each comprise at least one additional transverse batten placed between the central batten and the end of the wing,
- wherein said additional transverse batten 2 is closer to the end of the wing than to the central batten 1 comprises an inflatable tube structure,
- having a length provided to create a positive trailing edge BF.
