   Ultralight trike

   Trikes have often employed wings originally designed for hang gliding; the Rogallo-winged trike Paresev 1B of NASA's 1960s experiments and Barry Hill Palmer's trike (Fleep inspired) modeled the wing that has evolved to contemporary trike wings. ...

   Kite types

   The 1962 Mike Burns SkiPlane and 1963 Dickenson wings highly matched the Purcell, Barry Hill Palmer, and the Charles Richard NASA Paresev 1B wing; minor control sticks derived from the triangle control frame were used in each of these kites which sometimes glided.

   Triangle control frame

   A long-leg TCF with image echo of the George A. Spratt longer-legged showed up mid-leg cable stayed in a first commercial hang glider in Britain in 1971 by McBroom and Partners; the airframe of the wing was the four-boom structure seen around the world from NASA's Paresev 1B variants: The First, British Hang Gliding Museum.
