Ascertaining a flight state, and controlling a paraglider

Abstract

The invention relates to a flight state system (20) for ascertaining a flight state of a paraglider (50, 50′) which comprises a canopy (51) with two canopy ends (52) and which carries a load (53) during intended use. Thereby, the flight state system comprises a sensor arrangement (S1, S2, S3) for ascertaining a first distance (d1) between the canopy ends (52) and/or at least a second distance (d2, d3) between a canopy end (52) and the load (53). Furthermore, the flight state system comprises an evaluation unit (37) which ascertains the flight state using the first distance (d1) and/or the second distances (d2, d3). The invention further relates to an evaluation system and/or control system (40), a paraglider (50, 50′) and a method for ascertaining a flight state of a paraglider (50, 50′).
