Alumisele

Alumisele is a type of small hang-gliding airfoil used in the sport of paragliding. It is also known as a " rip panel" and serves a single wing fabric divided into smaller sections, allowing the wing to be flapped and increased airflow. This unique feature allows pilots to generate increased lift and maneuverability in flight.

Alumisele hang-gliders typically use lightweight aluminum ribs to hold the wing fabric in a curved shape. This design allows for flexibility and movement of the wing during flight, increasing its efficiency and responsiveness.

The use of alumisele technology has been instrumental in the development of modern paragliding. It provides pilots with greater control and versatility, enabling a wider range of flight maneuvers and allowing pilots to safely navigate through challenging weather conditions.

In addition to its aerodynamic benefits, alumisele also contributes to the overall weight reduction of the hang-glider. This is because the design eliminates the need for heavy supporting structures, allowing pilots to transport and setup their glider with greater ease.

The term "alumisele" is derived from the words "aluminum" and "ripanel," combining the two to describe the metal ribs that hold the wing fabric. The technology has been widely adopted in the paragliding community, and is considered a key advancement in the sport's history.
